It might... But the only concern I have is introducing any ambiguity about
what people are installing.

Technically the product name for MTOS is "Movable Type Open Source" as the
name "Movable Type" by itself is reserved for our commercial product.

Do you think it would be weird to call it:

* movabletype-os
* movabletype-opensource

One of those would be my preference from a 6A perspective.

But do you think those names would be too redundant? I suppose though, that
if we ever built a debian package for the commercial product we could call
it:

* movabletype-pro (for the Professional Pack)
* movabletype-ent (for the Enterprise Solution)

Etc.

Thoughts?
