In his two volume work The Open Society and Its Enemies, Karl Popper used the term " conspiracy theory " to criticize the ideologies driving fascism, nazism, and Stalinism.

Popper even uses the term " conspiracy " to describe ordinary political activity in the classical Athens of Plato ( who was the principal target of his attack in The Open Society and Its Enemies ).

" Stallman states that while the term " Free Software " can lead to two different interpretations, one of them is consistent with FSF definition of Free Software so there is at least some chance that it could be understood properly, unlike the term " Open Source ".

After this Eric Raymond and Bruce Perens founded the Open Source Initiative ( OSI ), to promote the term " open-source software " as an alternative term for free software.

Some free software advocates use the term Free and Open Source Software ( FOSS ) as an inclusive compromise, drawing on both philosophies to bring both free software advocates and open source software advocates together to work on projects with more cohesion.

This was also used by Open Source Initiative ( OSI ) under the name " The Open Source Definition ", the only change being that use of the term " free software " was replaced by OSI's alternative term for free software, " open-source software ".

Karl Popper used the term historicism in his influential books The Poverty of Historicism and The Open Society and Its Enemies, to mean: " an approach to the social sciences which assumes that historical prediction is their primary aim, and which assumes that this aim is attainable by discovering the ' rhythms ' or the ' patterns ', the ' laws ' or the ' trends ' that underlie the evolution of history ".

Although imperialist practices have existed for thousands of years, the term " Age of Imperialism " generally refers to the activities of nations such as the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United States in the early 18th through the middle 20th centuries, e. g., the " The Great Game " in Persian lands, the " Scramble for Africa " and the " Open Door Policy " in China.

Open standards are less strictly defined, but by some definitions the term describes technical standards without legal restrictions.

When the term OpenContent was first used by Wiley, it described works licensed under the Open Content License ( a non-free share-alike license, see ' Free content ' below ) and perhaps other works licensed under similar terms.

Although born from the same history of Unix, Internet free software, and the hacker culture as the free software movement launched by Richard Stallman and his Free Software Foundation, the Open Source Initiative was formed and chose the term open source, in Michael Tiemann's words, to " dump the moralizing and confrontational attitude that had been associated with ' free software ' in the past and sell the idea strictly on the same pragmatic, business-case grounds that had motivated Netscape.

Under Anderson, Wired has produced some widely noted articles, including the April 2003 " Welcome to the Hydrogen Economy " story, the November 2003 " Open Source Everywhere " issue ( which put Linus Torvalds on the cover and articulated the idea that the open source method was taking off outside of software, including encyclopedias as evidenced by Wikipedia ), the February 2004 " Kiss Your Cubicle Goodbye " issue ( which presented the outsourcing issue from both American and Indian perspectives ), and an October 2004 article by Chris Anderson, which coined the popular term " Long Tail.
