[Following the article « Open source, not just software anymore » by @benbalter and benbalter/benbalter.github.com#98 which leads to the current state of the definition in your glossary.]
Why:
Hello, I propose an update to the definition of open source in the glossary, replacing 'working materials' to 'source files'. This is related to a citizen research I did on the meaning of open source, published in the preprint « Open Source 2.0: From Open Source Software to Open Source Resources? ».
It supports the idea that open source is slowly derivating from source files in other openness movements (such as « Open Source Educational Resources » in extension to OER in open education).
This update could bring more consistency to the existing definition while being based on research.
