The only thing here that irks me is that it talks about "the spirit of opensource." And while I love several opensource products that do have good intentions and behaviours, like Mozilla, so many of them though are more about getting a label to sound good or to get free development, like Staroffice using OpenOffice.

If we're going to talk about a spirit of any movement, how about the free software movement? There's a lot less wiggle room in calling a piece of software freesoftware than there is calling it opensource.
