Open Source Photography

Being a software developer and free software (tidbit: free and open source are not the same thing, but this is a photography blog, not a software blog) enthusiast, I can't help but laugh at Open Source Photography. Not because of it's content, or it's intention, but rather because of it's name. Open Source Photography's goal is to empower photographers to use open source tools to do the work they need to do. The project is promising and I look forward to seeing it's content increase, but I wish the name were different. I don't think their intention is to provide images that you are free to modify and or distribute, as is the normal case in open source software, and that makes their name a bit misleading.
