I talked to Simon Phipps about this back in the mid-2000s, so I understand where you're coming from, even if I disagree.
I'm curious whether you classify chromium, AOSP, or sqlite as open source.

They are open source software, but they aren’t following the social norms of the open source movement. They are within their rights to develop as they see fit and label their software as open source software, but it’s also reasonable for people to have different expectations and to be surprised when these projects do not collaborate with the public.
