Adding open source software projects

So, how exactly should we categorize third party open source solutions on this site? I was going to create a category just called "Open Source," but there is no company or publisher. Then I guess we can get into GPL/GNU/BSD open source licensing if you really wanted to.

So, perhaps before we start adding third party open source solutions we figure out how we want to categorize them? Should we just call the company the project name, or just label it as open source?

Thoughts?

Good question. I'd tend to go with the company as the project name, and keep them generally in with the rest of the software.

Example:
Firefox; Mozilla Corporation
Adium; The Adium Team

Hmm, some of the tools I want to post are just published on Source Forge and that is it. Though I think you are probably right, just add/use the project name for the item in question.

Have you tried to add non apple devices to your Jamf JSS Casper? We want to just give them Wi-Fi Access with out giving them any info on our network. This sounds like a third party open source connection issue, but I don't know where to look.
