Open source?!

Open source software is everywhere. Even freaking chromium is open source. Android is open source. WebKit is open source. Pretty much the entire web runs on Linux servers. Even gamers buy devices running Linux now.

Is it not mainstream because people don't realize it's open source while using it? Isn't it rather that it is mainstream when people use it without even realizing?
