“Source available” is uncool, compared to “open source” or “Free Software”, in substance, not uncool as a term.

The non-ideological value of open source is exactly the commodification that the retreat to source available licensing seeks to end, along with downstream consequences of that commodification.

It is not a problem of terminology.
