Is content you can edit open source?

| The twist this time is that data used to create the laser-based video is
| available under a Creative Commons license. Thus, Google is the “network”
| making the release. Thus some call this open source content.
|
| Of course it’s nothing of the sort. I’m sure the group is thrilled that
| Europe is moving toward 95-year copyrights.
|
| The House of Cards play means amateur videonerds have already created their
| own versions of the video — the music remains the property of the group.

Another Apple-like 'open source' faker (using/exploiting something isn't the
same as distributability):
JUNOS: Open, But Not Open Source
,----[ Quote ]
| "JUNOS software is, indeed, based on FreeBSD," Bushong said. "Probably the
| most obvious benefit of using FreeBSD in our software is the Unix-like
| environment that comes with it. Customers can access a Unix shell and perform
| normal Unix commands that can be quite helpful with the regular upkeep of our
| routing platforms."

Ari Jaaksi of Nokia Wants to Educate the Linux Community
,----[ Quote ]
| But perhaps the community has some education for Jaaksi and Nokia. Jaaksi
| hosted me at a Nokia dinner in 2000, he's a nice guy and has been interested
| in Linux for a long time. But Nokia's barking up the wrong tree this time,
| because Nokia can do everything it wants with DRM, IPR, and SIM locks without
| bothering the Linux developers about it - and both Nokia and the Linux
| developers will like it better that way. It's surprising that Nokia doesn't
| understand that at this late date.
