| The rules have changed as exclusive proprietary development is no longer the

Some people just still try to bend "Open Source".
Enterprise Open Source - The Customer Is Listening
,----[ Quote ]
| There's been a lot of pubic discussion recently about what it means to be
| open. While the OSI has published the Open Source Definition, which lists 10
| attributes of what it means to be "open source," commercial entities have
| emerged that are described as "hybrid" models. Many companies offer a version
| of a product that's sold under an OSI-approved license and another version
| under a commercial license. Others sell and support products that meet some
| but not all of the 10 attributes. These companies purport to be "open"
| without meeting this strict definition, leading to a spirited debate about
| what it means to be open in an evolving market.
