*** closeable source
A term sometimes used by advocates of copyleft licenses to refer to systems having permissive licenses which can more easily be converted into proprietary software and their main development taken out of the public domain.
*** cloud
n. Somewhere you don't want to put your files. Insecure centralized location, usually administered by a megacorporation. The term "cloud computing" became popular after about 2010 to refer to putting your files onto a centralized server system which you don't own and have no control over - thereby exposing your data to numerous threats and "third party doctrine" legal disputes. The rise of cloud computing also eliminated many system administrator jobs within small companies, which had been a traditional source of income for many hackers. Companies could make their sysadmins redundant, but now a bigger megacorp controlled their asses. When hackers use "the cloud" it's a server which they have root on, and client side encryption may be used to ensure that whoever is administering the server can't get access to the data.
