| If anyone needs more proof of Mr. Comeauâs 
| lack of sanity, he calls HTML 5 âopen 
| source.â  Since when is a language open 
| source?  Programs have source code, written 
| in languages, and if a programmer allows 
| his source to be freely available, then 
| that is whatâs called âopen source.â  But 
| calling HTML 5 open source is like saying 
| C++ is open source.
| 
| No!  Web pages are written in HTML, which 
| may be HTML 5 compliant (that is, it 
| utilizes tags that were added in the HTML 5 
| spec).  The HTML source of a webpage is 
| freely viewable, but that doesnât make that 
| HTML open source.  And it certainly doesnât 
| make HTML 5, the specification, open 
| source.  Does he think that since HTML 5 is 
| a standard, so itâs not kept a guarded 
| secret, that itâs open source?

Open source and the Morevna project

,----[ Quote ]
| Konstatin Dmitriev's Morevna Project is to 
| 2-D animation what the Blender Foundation's 
| Open movie projects have been for 3-D. The 
| goal is to produce a production-quality, 
| full-length animated feature, using only 
| open source software, and license the 
| source content and final product under 
| free, re-use-friendly terms. Along the way, 
| the work provides stress-testing, feedback, 
| and development help to the open source 
| software used, while raising awareness of 
| the quality of the code.
