Sorry. My semantics are 'open source status'!='open source nature' -- having
an open source nature includes the developer community's openness. Many
projects have open source status -- few have an open source nature. I should
have clarified what I meant.
See my letter to Linux Weekly News from a few weeks ago to find out what I
see in 'open source nature.'
