Dana Blankenhorn has written an interesting blog post about openness of open source business:
We are accustomed to the idea that open source means you can see the code.
What Vembu and others are showing is that success in open source also requires transparency in other areas, even when it comes to development strategy, and a willingness to acknowledge what others may see as mistakes in that strategy.
To me this seems very much like honesty used as a core business principle. Is this even possible to realize in real-world business? I do think it is.
