I'd agree that "powered by open source." isn't quite clear enough. "Open Source-Based" is a little bit better, but probably still a bit too nebulous. That being said, I've been tossing this around mentally for a while and I've not come up with anything better. If I do, I'll be sure to post here. --jeremy Thanks for the response Andy.

Conceptually, it's similar to the "Intel inside" campaign. How about Open Source Inside? kidding... ;-) Another idea we've heard (thanks to Raven Zachary of the 451 group) is "powered by open source." That starts to get to the idea, but I don't think it's quite clear enough yet for a market-making term. For now, our approach is to simply and honestly explain the differences between (a) open source code (we are not), (b) open source-based product (we are), and open source company (we are). Come to think of it, perhaps that's it exactly... Open Source-Based... Suggestions are welcome!
