Factorial

I was writing a reply on a blog, and I had to find a good expression for next generation of open source. I ended up reviewing the history of free,open source and everything in between

free software(Free Software Foundation)

open source, thats too generic, we need some differentiators now

restricted open source(GPL, restrictive to use for commercially, restrictive to distribute, etc)

unrestricted open source (MIT,WTFL, LGPL?)
But what I wanted to express was beyond these, community needs to be involved at every possible level and probably a cool name like AJAX which made web 2.0 happening.

"Democratic Open Source", the word the looks interesting but open source is more of a meritocracy determined group and may end up alienating quarter of the world, not being able to part of the party(pun intended).

"Participatory Open Source", this is closest github style open source project hosting, easy to host, fork, push, pull, watch.

I know it would have been difficult to absolute loose control over your project, on but it would be like zen, nirvana, enlightenment, rubicon or orgasm, whichever word makes your brain feel happy and right.

It needs lot of courage but my favourite project ruby on rails has done it, but I would love if MRI ruby, ruby enterprise and other open source projects become participatory open source
