Yes, they match the definition. But there are

match
the definition just as well, but that you want to forbid because you
prefer your free formats to formats that are free only in practice
but
not in theory and want to force your opinion upon me and others.
You've convinced me. I move we make data dumps only available in the
universal standard format, i.e. MS Word documents.
Are you deliberately misunderstanding me, or am I just not being
clear? I am not the one who is prescribing any formats. I want to
_extend_ the allowed formats. I'm not in favor of converting material
to any format I prefer, but in not converting material that comes in
in such a format.
You've made yourself quite clear, which is why at least two people are
very angry with you, and object on moral grounds to what you are doing.
