Andre: yep open source is two words there.

Alain: Officially, open source is spelled out as two separate words. I
have taken to writing them together, as in "OpenSource", for several
reasons :

(1) Webmaster habit of avoiding spaces between words in file names so
that the corresponding URL does not replace every space with a "%20".

(2) Programmer habit of not using spaces in variable and handler names.

(3) Open source is two words but only ONE concept. 

(4) No damage done because I am sure that, despite the spelling error,
everyone understood that my "OpenSource" was the same as their "open source".
