Open Source and Open Content licenses have similar goals but different
structures because of the focus of the license. I'm still unclear about what
control you are referring to here thay may need to be relaxed. Do Todd and Suz
own all the content on LUGNET ? The copyright notice from LUGNET reads ...

group content created by users or images owned by the LEGO Group), all material

UNQUOTE
My read of this is that (in the great words of The WELL) 'I own my words'. I'm
sure that there are some things here (LUGNET Guide ?) which are not covered by
the above, but I'm not seeing a lack of open content here. Please help me to
understand your point of view.
