You conveniently cut out the next definition in your page where it says that it is related to liberalism.
And the leftism ideologies isn't simply being open-minded. It is actively promoting new ideas and policies that benefits the citizens. This is why we use the term progressive.
Liberal is firmly center right on the political compass and even the definition you post ad nauseum is indicative of that.
I'm not trying to deceive anyone. As I mentioned a dozen or more times before, Liberal does have a different definition in America.
The definition says "promoting new ideas and policies" when it says "favouring reform".
The definition I'm referring to is inherently progressive. There are no mutually exclusive terms, they are in fact the same thing by this definition.
Liberal (adjective): given, used, or occurring in generous amounts.
Finally, someone who gets it.
I subscribe to the ideology of liberalism, ie. Whatever it is, make sure you give a lot.
