Re: Team Fortress 2 is now Open Source

That's cool! Though, if they are restricting redistribution, then it's not open source but rather "source available." It's good news nonetheless, but I think it's a good idea to use the correct term to avoid giving others the wrong idea.

For more information about the definition of open source ...
