Abusing âOpenâ: Macmillanâs Open Dictionary
,----[ Quote ]
| Jonathan recently wrote about the availability of open dictionaries. In
| a recent comment to that post someone pointed us to Macmillanâs âOpenâ
| Dictionary (the reasons for the quotes will soon be apparent).

|
| Such potential for abuse of the âopenâ label is a major reason we
| created the open definition â where open content and data are clearly
| defined as material that you, and others, are free to use, reuse and
| redistribute without restriction.

Using open source as a marketing ploy
,----[ Quote ]
| This is typical trend riding fluff. If you go the Aras website you

Open source: flavour of the month
,----[ Quote ]
| In one of the latest such happenings, CNET reports that a company named
| Aras, which develops software entirely using Microsoft technologies
| released the code to a design application.
|
| Sounds a bit funny, as though a liquor outlet were preaching about
| responsible drinking, but open source seems to be a magic term when
| it comes to getting some attention. It also seems to be a nice way
| of getting rid of possible commercial competition.
