I like Lunduke.
I think a certain wing of the movement gets wayyyy too caught up on the minutiƦ of the terminology. If you watch Stallman's recent lectures, his main point is to emphasise the distinctions between 'open-source' and 'free'.

The term Big Five is sometimes used to include Microsoft, another major technology company. ~ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Four_tech_companies
I also like FANG = Facebook Amazon Netscape Google.
Open-source sites like GitHub are owned by big players and they get the benefits of all that free and open source stuff too.

The Open Source definition (not to be confused with the free software definition), by the way, is as follows:
