I'm glad you are here, too, Ivan. I agree with your perspective, and Stellarium is just one example of what is right about Open Source (although it took them an awful long time!). But the Xtreme experiment shows that, sadly, not everything can be Open Sourced and work well. Perhaps that is because of a bad fit between 'commercial' and OS, but at least Charles and team tried. Coxover's implication that the market makes things work, and other methods don't, was good for a chuckle.
