Comment from the meeting: Would be good to initial reference the already existing OSPO Glossary in https://ospoglossary.todogroup.org/ospo-definition/ to also avoid conflicting definitions.

Nevertheless, to make the business guide a self-standing document we could mention a short abstract for each of the terms since the OSPO Glossary is more lengthy.

As I mentioned on Friday, I'm not sure it's worth it to reference the OSPO glossary; it's not extensive enough and this glossary should include a lot of terms that are relatively basic to open source; it's also important for it to be self-contained.
