Open Source Software

There is some confusion here about software and software-based 
services.

OJS is open source software it can be used by anyone and hosted 
anywhere - the terms of its licence will not require anyone to be 
informed. In most licences it can also be adapted and changed 
without requiring attribution. This is somewhat true of 
commercial software as well - for example Highwire did, and may 
still, have some Atypon technology in its platform.

SE is a software service like Highwire and it has a list of 
journals here <http://www.scholarlyexchange.org/journals.html>. 
It uses OJS to provide this service and provides the hosting 
service for OJS journals.

I am sure that collecting the information on who is using OJS is
possible but someone would have someone to do it...
