Annoying paywall, how is businessinsider.com even allowed on HN nowadays? Here is the full article: http://archive.is/1oTMU

Seems the meaning of open source is getting more and more perverse as time goes on. Open source never has meant that anyone can contribute code, it's just about you being able to use/modify the code as you wish. In no way does open source projects automatically means they have an open governance, although those two licenses/methods are often combined together.

If we complain enough about paywalls, the guidelines will change.
