Forum topic change from Linux -> open source?

I agree with that. I presume the intention still is for the forum to be for questions pertaining to Linux and other Unix-type operating systems. (And where would questions about Solaris or other propritary Unix systems now fit?)

I don't think that the fact that a program is open or closed source is relevant to the organization of these forums. Questions about closed-source Linux programs belong here (where else?), questions about open-source Windows programs don't.

I also see evidence of confusion caused by this title change.

Hrm, we didn't anticipate it causing this much confusion. I'll see what we can do about it, but considering how long it took to get it changed in the first place, I would not suggest holding your breaths. For now, please bear with it and I'll be sure to update anybody following this thread as soon as I get more information.
