I'm not sure I understand how that distinction changes anything. You outright dismissed the project and any of it's potential merits on the grounds that it only promised to be FOSS eventually instead of initially. Ideals are great to have but you can't dismiss something of merit simply because it's less than ideal. Ideally all medicine would be free and open source but the fact that they're not doesn't mean we should be turning our backs on them.
