I think it's helpful to look at how the Linux community works. There are
many bodies of code that are all called Linux, and all of them are open.
However, the distributions such as RedHat, SuSE, and Slackware are closed
as far as what they will distribute.
Make your world wide open and let anyone contribute whatever they like, no
matter how bad it is. People have the right to take that Open World and
modify it and produce their open distributions of it as they like (in this
model). You might be able to use one of the existing Open licenses.
Then create a distribution and trademark it. Someone could create their
own Dundralis Open World in which a giant frog named Larry went around
licking people to death, and publish it, but you would be the one to
decide what the Dundralis "Maggie" Distribution contained. The
distribution name would become the world name to a lot of people, just
like people say they installed Redhat.
