I think it is odd that the title has the string "free and open source" prepended to it. It seems like that isn't the primary feature.

A lot of Wordpress stuff out there is premium and rather expensive, so to see quality Wordpress tools that are free is indeed an important feature. Most free Wordpress stuff is ugly and useless (except for Wordpress itself, of course).
In the WordPress world, it seems that "free" carries a lot more weight than "open source". While there are many who care, there's also a ton of folks making a living (or just running their own website) by connecting together plugins. I'd make "open source" a bullet point, not a title-level feature.
I agree. Given this particular forum I thought the free and open source aspect of it would be more interesting, but you're right: it's definitely not the drawcard of Tailor. That said, the benefits of it being free are obvious and being open source people can get involved and help shape it (like WordPress!).
The fact that "free and open source" was in the title was the primary reason I looked into this plugin.
