>From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxymoron:
An oxymoron (plural oxymora) is a figure of speech that combines two
normally contradictory terms. Oxymoron is a Greek term derived from oxy
("sharp") and moros ("dull"). Thus the word oxymoron is itself an
oxymoron.

OSGeo tries to resolve its position with respect to here:

More of this to help define terms, wording and advocacy in general can be
found here:

This needs some proof reading or if you have more time to your disposition
consider use some of what he says to enhance those pages.

With best regards from VisCom to WebCom,
