What we advocate is free software, a totally different idea. See https://gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html for more explanation of the difference between free software and open source. See also https://thebaffler.com/salvos/the-meme-hustler for Evgeny Morozov's article on the same point. At the practical level, nearly all open source programs are free software, but there are a few exceptions. We cannot take for granted that auth-source-xoauth2 is free software, merely knowing that it is open source. What is the license of the source code of auth-source-xoauth2? I wonder if we want to integrate it with ELPA, or Emacs itself.
