Scott Leslie levels some criticism at an unnamed open source learning object repository, pointing out quite reasonably that if it won't release its code, it cannot be called open source. I am inclined to agree and can name three projects off the top of my head that could fit his description. "Open source is as much about a form of software development practice and social organization as it is about a form of software license," he writes, which means that when you block people from contributing before the software is finished, you are blocking the methodology that makes open source software unique.
