Free and Open

Here on the OSED.org website I use a simple rating system when critiquing a piece of software, an internet-based service, or freely available content. Each item under consideration is assessed for Freedom, Openness, Privacy, and Control and then receives a rating as described below:

Platinum is the highest rating given in critiques of software, content, and services here at OSED.org. A Platinum rating means that the item in question scored highly in all four categories.
