Open Source
""Open source," at least the way it's been used in tech circles over the years, usually connotes successful, volunteer projects like the Linux operating system, which has strict controls and is monitored by a handful of people who make the call on what is handed over to the public."

Actually, anybody can branch off an Open Source project and thumb their noses at the "strict controls" of most open source projects. I've seen it happen, especially when people don't like what the current developers are doing.
