I think here _you_ are drawing an artificial distinction. The (applicable) definition of jargon is "specialized technical terminology characteristic of a particular subject" (from WordNet). While there is value in identifying and countering closed-source or other "bad" jargon, please do not use "jargon" itself to mean "bad jargon," since that is not a meaning used in the wider community.
