How Open is the Open Video Player Initiative?
,----[ Quote ]
| What's curious about this self-styled open source site – whatever that

When is Open Source not Open Source?

| The incompatibility between that and the Zimbra license is pretty glaring,

| and as a culture, depends utterly on the freedom to fork. You can’t have
| open source practices without open source freedoms: the practices depend
| on the freedoms.
