   Vimp is a proprietary video hosting package, whose developers supply source code to paying customers. After I exchanged some emails with them a few months back, it looks like they have finally got the message that calling that "open source" is a classic example of #OpenWashing, and a violation of the #OSI trademark, and have removed the phrase "open source" from their website:

         That same poorly-researched article on "open source video CMS" also listed #PHPMotion. Which is not free code either. From their homepage:
         "Redistribution of source code is not allowed"
