I claim that the degree of openness of a composite channel is set that
way for a reason. Examples:
Half open, to hide corporate IP, while still disclosing that the
product is cool.
The closed bits being the details of the technology, and the
concept/idea bits being open.
All closed, to keep a secret.
Almost open, e.g. anonymizing names to protect the parties involved,
but disclosing their case files.
Open, to have all available eyes on a problem, i.e. open source.
