I have no idea what Metrowerks' definition of "open source" means at 
all. The logical conclusion one can draw, without such a clarification, 
is the common use of the term, which means the OSD. if it's not "open 
source" in the same way as stipulated in the OSD, I think it only fair 
for Metrowerks to expound upon the differences so that people who work 
with OSD code day in and day out know what they're getting into.

So to get back to the point - what good does it do me for PPX to be 
labelled by Metrowkers as "open source"? How does this change anything? 
What about MSL? It's "open source" in the same way as PPX.
