Vote For GOG To Make Galaxy Open Source

This looks pretty cool (www.gog.com/galaxy)
What separates it from Desura (www.desura.com) which is also open-source?
My uses for GoG's Galaxy being open-source would be so I can port it to platforms I actually use (i.e FreeBSD). However... none of the games will run since they are still proprietary.
That said, opening up the source is always good for guaranteed lifespan of the software. So it certainly has my vote.

Yeah, I voted. Would be nice I'm sure, but I'm not exactly optimistic GOG will do the right thing. Not that the client, open source or not, would be of use to me anyway until they get a reasonable portion of their games running on Linux. Won't be hard for most of the oldies, and I guess some of the more recent games already have Linux versions available elsewhere.
