CNET to Award Open Source Initiatives

Posted by Zonk on from the hats-off dept.

An anonymous reader writes "CNET's 2005 awards will for the first time include a category for Open Source Initiative of the Year. The winner will be announced at a gala dinner in London's swanky Park Lane Hilton in September. It's good to see such explicit acknowledging of the work being done by the open source community."

    What on Earth makes them think they are qualified to select the best Open Source Initiative of the year? Don't they own download.com, arguably the largest repository of crap-filled closed-source downloadables? This sounds like the Winston-Salem Environmental & Health awards...
