If it was it would mean information was FREELY licensed and able to be accessed and changed by collaborators and non-collaborators alike? Instead his scheme has "tiered access" levels according to what you cough up into the bowl.

I object to Brabham describing his appeal for funds as "Open Source" and deliberately misinterpreting the concept for his own gain. It wouldn't get through the Advertising Standards Authority here in the UK, so let's hope he buys a few ads in print.
My viewpoint is that anyone, be it Brabham or Perrin, want to go racing, then let them find the investors or sponsors and then go racing. Expecting the public to fund the operation for them to me is wrong and I don't see the angle of Joe Public putting money into it will attract a sponsor, why would it?
