I personally think that organization shouldn't announce their product 
to be open source if they have the intention to make it open source 
later. The point is that we have to communicate well which MMBase 
applications exist and who is responsible for the application. Some 
applications will be the responsibility of the MMBase developers (such 
as media, editwizards, etc.) the responsibility of the other 
applications will be by the organization that made them. If they stop 
to support their application it will be removed from the list. I 
really think it's not much more complicated then this. And it 
shouldn't be more complicated.

Notice that even if i am the maintainer of the list i didn't put mmbob 
on it given the logic Rob stated, mmbob is not released yet. when that 
happendand only then will it make the list its that simple and if i 
claim its opensource sources will be provided 100%.
