The question of trademark is pretty unsettled in the open source world. The trademark is important in a consumer product, but there are a few groups who feel it's a restriction they can't live with.

Many people think that open source projects are sort of chaotic and and anarchistic. They think that developers randomly throw code at the code base and see what sticks.

We do care about control and privacy. It's one of the reasons we are so focused on having our systems be open source, so you or someone technically savvy you know can verify what the software is doing.

"Einstein need not wait for an apple to fall"...That is the essence of Open Source Software..

Open source can propagate to fill all the nooks and crannies that people want it to fill.

For me, open source is a moral thing.
