I came across this term OpenWashing at http://openwashing.org
Openwashing: to spin a product or company as open, although it is not. Derived from 'greenwashing.' Openwashing: n., having an appearance of open-source and open-licensing for marketing purposes, while continuing proprietary practices. I am trying to understand the impact of this in GIS. Is there any examples of GIS Vendors using this OpenWashing? Best wishes, Suchith This message and any attachment are intended solely for the addressee and may contain confidential information.
