Well, yes, Binpress totally abuses the term "Open Source", but the Open Source Initiative was denied their application for the trademark on the term, so there's nothing legally that can be done. All we can do is post a comment on Binpress links telling everyone that despite their claim, Binpress sells mainly just proprietary software.
Good to know. I tried to find it out by googling, and I had a hunch this might be the case but wasn't sure. Still, it might be worth a shot, because they could argue that it's a reference to the Open Source Initiative and its approved licenses, just like Chick-Fil-A is trying to argue that "Eat More Kale" is a reference to "Eat Mor Chikin".
