There's probably no help with them unless you can show them the useful FLOSS term, point out that the Open Source Definition derives from the Debian Free Software Guidelines (and has since been rather disclaimed by one of its authors).
Libre guarantees slightly more than open source :)
i know that, you know that.... but they've taken the libre definition of the "four freedoms", transliterated it to a hardware world... and called it OPEN HARDWARE (!!!)
