I don't think "open source" is organized enough to have a formal ideology; i.e. many "open source" supporters have opposing views on the matter but it doesn't bother them because they either don't know or don't care. Supporters aren't purged for having an impure view or understanding. As an observation, most people can't distinguish between "open source" the sort-of-movement and source that is open, and to say that FSF is against Open Source is going to confuse the un-converted. It's more helpful to say that the FSF is against mere open source because now it offers something more instead of just opposing something. Sam
