You say I gave no examples when i mention firefox, and i do give a very simple definition of open source, i probably should have said something like community maintained software, but i didn't. For more examples of open sources software you could always click on the open source tag like an inch to the right of this comment.

IMO, you asked "What is ice cream" and you answered "It's yummy" You didn't explain what open source is. You need to learn about freedom and community and stop making generalizes statements like "things that come out of open source projects: free software and great software" without backing up your statements with examples.
