That's a bit revisionist. Much of Open Source originated in the early unix world, stuff that was all still strictly not legally redistributable. (the unix source was copyrighted).

The open source was more like being available to users and them to modify and recompile them for own use. Rights for redistribution were a separate idealized goal, but that was added only later after GNU.
