I don't really agree with Randy! Open Source is crowd or community collaboration initiative. Open source evolves through community and the contribution involved. Here nobody is dictating terms. You are at peace to involve and contribute. Open source demands involvement and contribution from the community (You mentioned it as community). You may be best logo or graphic designer in the world unless you won't share your designs nobody is demanding you. Hence please understand the histrionics of open source and please be involved.
