Hi Grant,

I agree that the DesktopSource page could be cleaned up a bit, though  
I feel I'm not the best person to do that. Katie/Ted, is this part of  
your Developers Wiki efforts?

I think though the terminology will necessarily be different for end- 
users versus Developers. Developers distinguish between the two. End- 
users probably shouldn't think too objectively about this kind of  
stuff. I always find it weird when I'm reading end-user agreements  
and what-not. Feels like someone is watching me. (Or...maybe I'm  
misunderstanding what your terminology comment was about.)
