Hmmm
I don't know why people are so touchy about FOSS.
If I mention "photographer" or "security" or "Media" or "engineer" instead of "FOSS", will the reaction be same?

Can we stop dragging FOSS into every mail unless absolutely necessary?
just to clarify.
- Roads aren't designed with FOSS.
- Camera firmware isn't FOSS.
- Our brain doesn't have FOSS.
- Bus ticketing isn't FOSS.

Well, Mediawiki and whole lot of other things used for Wikipedia related activities are FOSS.
And in general, it is about contributing back to the society so that everybody gets benefitted.  That's what is common in both FOSS as well as Wikimedia.
 
No offence intended.
