Open source has an accepted and well understood meaning to developers; when people use the term to mean something other than that, it is 100% of the time for exploitative purposes, and they know they are being disingenuous.

I've used the term for 25+ years to describe my own source-included free software projects, and I'll thank you (and OSI) for not policing my language. No trademark? No standing. Choose other crusades.

Title says "open source", but the Business Source License (BSL) is not an Open Source Initiative (OSI) approved open-source license.

The correct term for things like BSL is “source available.”

The "correct term" for things like BSL is whatever they want to call it, as long as no trademarks are being infringed.

Fixed! BSL (to my understanding) is a copy of the license and its a 'hashicorp document' so it had their title on it.

However, someone earlier today put me onto the concept of AGPL licenses so I changed MIRA over to AGPL because it still aligns with my overall intent of protecting my significant effort from someone coming in and Flappy Bird-ing it while still making it freely available to anyone who wants to access, modify, anything it.

This is really fascinating. I’d love to see a demo.

There is a live hosted instance a miraos.org where you can make an account and chat with MIRA through a web frontend. For now during this phase of people discovering it I'm eating the token costs so its 100% free to access and chat with.

I looked at your web hosted version. It seemed really easy to get it to hang up when it's search tools raise an exception.

If it throws an actual error please let me know by lodging it as an issue in the GitHub repo and I'll modify the code. I'm hanging around the house tonight to fix bugs people uncover.

EDIT: Thanks for the feedback! I was able to pinpoint it to a change I made earlier today to allow simultanious OAI endpoints and the native Claude support. When on a model via a 3rd party provider certain parts of a toolcall were being stripped. Not any more! Pushed an update.

I think they literally coined and defined the term over 25 years ago.

If you are on a Claude Pro/Max plan, can you use it by signing into your account? Or is it API only for now?

No, I wish. That would be a really cool functionality but to my knowledge it is not possible BUT I could be wrong and would be more than happy to implement that support if someone gives me the information needed to integrate.

That's not how it works. They're entitled to their own opinion, but not to their own dictionary.

So if you were to write that you are not in the habit of stealing from children, you might have your own idiosyncratic definition of "steal" or "child"?
