    One does not want Microsoft or 
    Philips to take open source code, say "thank you", and incorporate it in 
    closed source commercial code.

Why do you choose the terms "open source" and "closed source"
(which avoid the issue of freedom), rather than the terms "free software"
and "proprietary software" which refer to freedom?
