On-going in different articles we have mentioned community-oriented and -driven software. So within this article we want to give an overview what and how we understand this phrase.

We understand the mentioned phrase and wording to be used for free, libre and permissive licensed software-projects being most time only developed within a community of people, not with any kind of company and / or corporation behind. A trademark included is under these conditions most time used only to protect the project itself and not to misuse it further against interested individuals or groups to modify, build and share the software itself.
