Heard that phrase this morning by some guy being interviewed on NPR. It means "public information" as in "we only only what is in the open source, so we can only guess as to blah-blah-blah."
It's always bizarre how our industry infiltrates the rest of the world and affects their speech.

Ah, "public domain" strikes again.
I suppose "open source" information -- like Wikipedia -- can be changed to suit the user.

Yes, but which licence? What's the source, who's the owner, commercial use allowed?

If only it would end at speeches ... I guess our industry has infiltrated more of our lives than any other ever.

It's nothing to do with our industry; the speaker is just your typical inarticulate waste of oxygen, who couldn't put together a coherent sentence to save his life.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I hate to be the one to prick the bubble, but that usage is a lot older, and may have affected the choice of words in the "open-source software" term.

I had high hopes for today: coding, learning some DB replication stuff. Coffee.
Except ... the water is off due to a burst main, and it's not every day you find a wasps nest attached to the curtain in the spare room ... 
OK, change of priorities time ...
Anyone know where I can get some water?

Set the curtain that contains the wasps on fire. Call the fire-department, and within 7 minutes you'll have water gushing into your house.
As an alternative, you could simply ask a neighbour if you can use their toilet

Probably does, but he already said he doesn't have water. So, can't flush.
For clean toilet water you'd have to ask the neighbour

Gotcha - Even though flushing is a non-functional requirement, to some extent at least.

You did not specify the location of the breakdown; they may not be affected. If they are, y'all better check his neighbours toilet.

Whether the neighbor's water is off or not, use their toilet!

Someone out there will be glad to know I resisted responding with some very vivid descriptive prose.
