This is a list of services that might be considered "open" under various proposed definitions of "open" services, useful to test various arguments about what such a definition should or shouldn't contain.
* Wikipedia: data and software are freely available. How are APIs licensed? * geonames.org * hostip.info * gmail: server source is proprietary, but all (email) data is available via standardized/open protocols, and users can make the service transparent (from an identity perspective) by using other email addresses. * Amazon EC2: server images are ~ standard xen images. If you can move your data and computation transparently between S3 and completely Free xen-based servers, is it open/free/autonomous service? * GNU Savannah: * Second Life: client is Free; service is not. * audioscrobbler/last.fm: * altlaw.org: * chicagocrime.org (defunct): what happens when you mash up Free data with non-free services like google maps?
