The web is a business. Gathering personal information is a business. So the two go hand in hand. If anyone finds this to be a shocking revelation that they are tracking you on the web and gathering information, then I'm sorry for you. Everything is about gathering information for resale on the web. ISPs tend to gather where users go, servers track who visits, when, what pages, and what browser they use.
Unless a project consists of few people and your paying them, Chaos is inevitable. Good programmers rarely tend to work together. We all think we are magicians, why would we want more of one of us in a project. We all want to be a hero. And OSS is NOT a place to try to practice Egoless programming.
