I'm giving you the most sensible definition, from the point of view of
a Doctor of Law. I have not seen a real definition, so I'm giving you
one.

No, you must have the intention. If you have a copy of your new book
on your computer, but someone steals it and prints it -- it is not a
"published" work.
And there is no URL. You can take my word for it, along with my
credentials, or you can ignore it.

You confuse the issue. My definition included "intended for the
public". But it isn't clear that open source code is intended for the
public -- it is intended for those who code or wish to.
Past your inflammatory remarks, I withdraw any further commentary.
