It has been around for at least 5 years and doesn't look very healthy
in Alexa: http://decenturl.com/alexa/open-site-alexa-traffic-rank

I don't know when it started being GFDL. I thought it was under the
MPL in 2004, but maybe that was only the software. They used to say
you had to include this box if you wanted to use the content:
<http://web.archive.org/web/20041220174020/open-site.org/docs/osnote.html>

You still can't add Wikipedia content since you to have to assign
copyright to Open Site Foundation.

It's listed for deletion: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Site
