What do we mean by open?

What do we mean by open?

I use the term all the time; open licence, open access, open education, and open standard. In each of these contexts its considered to be a good thing. But is open always good?

Steve Stong isn’t convinced. He has a written a thoughtful blogpost the Ying and Yang of Openness about why we need to think more carefully about open.
