By saying "you can only use OAuth if you're open source", it's the same as saying "if you're closed source you must use insecure authentication methods". Because just saying OAuth must be open source isn't going to stop closed source developers.
Yes, of course. It makes no sense. I changed it to a _should_ in the wiki page.
I just nuked it.
This page is more relevant to our immediate plans: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Auth_systems/OAuth
I would be really happy to see someone do some cleanup of this page, archive the bits written in 2011, and make the Auth_systems/OAuth page more prevalent, possibly merging with OAuth (though please don't mix in the obsolete stuff)..
