This page is a mess and I'm not sure if there is anything worth salvaging here. It is actually about two completely different things. It starts out talking about a particular approach to open source software development used in higher education – the elements of which aren't actually unique to the higher education sector. I'm not convinced that concept is notable enough for its own article, and the extent to which this article covers it seems rather excessive in proportion to its notability – although possibly it could be briefly mentioned in some article about open source software development models or software in higher education.

The rest of the page is essentially just a double of source-available software. Some source-available software licenses have had the phrase "Community License" in their name, but that doesn't mark out some distinctive category of source-available software licenses–it is just a phrase which has attracted some people.

Having an article about two unrelated uses of the same phrase (in the same field of endeavour) is likely to mislead readers into thinking one has something to do with the other. Mr248 (talk) 00:36, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
