"The archive software will be open-source."
Naomi Novik, Oct 10, 2007 here for post (http://community.livejournal.com/otw_news/10668.html#cutid6).

From the start, they were talking about open source software. A lot was posted, so maybe it was lost in the flurry, but I'm not sure how they could have 'advertised' it any better. Naomi Novik was the creator of the program that's currently being used by a bunch of archives--and that was apparently also open source from the start.

My main critique of a lot of the criticisms is that much of what is being said shows that critics have not read much of what OTW has put out, and are criticizing them on grounds that are simply not true (they've done a lot of posting to clarify stances, positions, etc.)

It was always meant to be open source.

From the start.
