I cannot really follow your first sentence.

It's a double-negative. That meant exactly what you said: copyleft. GPL is not free as in FreeBSD or Apache licences. It is open source, no "quasi" about it (if anything, it's more like the opposite of quasi).

I am not quite sure about your

Subsurface is GPL 2.0 (except some parts it uses like EXIF parsing which comes with a different open source license) which is quasi by definition open source

myself:

• are you saying is GPL 2.0 is "seemingly apparently but not really" open source? Does RMS know?
  
• or that "other" licenses involved are "partly or almost" open source?
• or you are using a definition of "quasi" that I am not familiar with?

I meant, the term "Open Source" came up around RMS and the GPL. The "quasi" referred to "by definition".

The other files like the exif parser I mentioned come with other Open Source license, in this case a BSD style license (without strong copyleft).

Ah. I was using the One True Dictionary definition.
(I see I've a "that's" in there that was supposed to be "that". Finger macros I guess... I don't claim to be entirely blameless here.)
