It's a collection of information about OSM things, so if you want to make it relevant, you shouldn't employ censorship. After all, OSM wiki is already full of "advertizing" (take a look at the first couple of sentences on the http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Garmin page). As long as information on the wiki is objective and doesn't try to promote somebody's commercial interests _directly_, I don't see why non-open source software shouldn't be mentioned. The authors of such software should however be aware that placing the documentation/manuals for their software on the OSM wiki is problematic, since the license (probably) doesn't allow them to reuse the docs somewhere else. That's why I decided not to host the docs there for the OSM project I'm currently working on. And yes, it's not open-source. Regards, Igor
