Some things which both the FSF & OSI didn't include in the definition of opensource:
1. That FOSS must cost nothing.
2. That FOSS must publish our code online.That said these are fairly natural consequences these ideals with off-the-shelf software, aiming for a broad audience.
I think its only that these are excluded from the official definitions: The Four Freedoms apply to those who run the software, which doesn't need to be everyone!

And not all libre software has a community.
