Actually, it is my understanding that CKAN is an *open registry* and includes packages that are partially open, unclearly licensed or even that someone thinks should be open but at present are not. I agree that the text is misleading and should probably be fixed. I'm crossposting to ckan-discuss, and if nobody objects I'll change it to "CKAN is an open registry of data and content packages" It seems to me the case that packages in the curated LOD group should all be themselves open, by definition.
