OSM
Looks like OSM launched, with a stolen name. Here is the real open source media. They don’t seem too happy about the theft so will probably force them to change it. It’s for the best really since the people at OSM seem to have no inclination to support anything remotely as free and open as the “open-source” moniker would suggest.

Um, yeah. I guess “open source” is just a catchy phrase for these people. Other people are pretty surprised since the real open source media is pretty well known as well…
