Until yesterday, I was not aware this topic existed, and I still do not know it exists - my attempts to find any reliable confirmation failed so far. The article makes an impression of being referenced, but all the links are either on "open source" or on "optics", not on "open source optics". I myself can not imagine application of open source to optical design. Materialscientist (talk) 05:36, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete I am not sure what would go in a merge. Also, optics usually means only electromagnetic radiation that behaves basically like visible light, as opposed to radio. - 2/0 (cont.) 15:41, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
