To me, to call this the “open web” would back this kind of creativity into a corner, and make it harder to have to the legal construct in place to foster it’s growth.
If it is already here, then we are best to protect it with all that we have.

Hi Mitchell, this is a great post! I like this part the most: “The Open Web embodies the legal and technical flexibility so that I can decide what combination of products best suits my needs.”

What it all comes down to is education. Where to choose, which parts are good or bad? How do you know that a really great feature fits into your needs (aka 24″ inch rims do not fit my Pinto). In smaller (Internet) communities this may go well by word-of-mouth, in larger (Internet) communities the ‘consumers’ are flooded by advertisements and great deals, but what will last of fit the customer’s need better?

I will keep this in mind while we are working on our project, which hopes to advance the Mozilla Manifesto and the “Open web”, and hope you guys keep thinking on where to find reliable information…
