So an open source project is evil because a company is selling it as a service?

The pricing structure is obviously aimed at enterprises. The free level includes 7 days of non-stop streaming a month. I don't know anybody who literally spends a quarter of their time on video chat.

No, not evil. Disingenuous. The O/S project is used as a marketing ploy for the service. There's nothing wrong with it, Google does this all the time, just as many other companies. But if you re-read the press release it really stresses the "we are just like Mozilla" point. They are trying to piggy-back on Mozilla's reputation and borrow its established goodwill as a non-profit, all the while being a commercial entity and having a distinctly different set of interest.

Is it really a true open source project?

I might be blind, but I thought it was only a open API to connect to their services. One couldn't run this without utilizing their servers and services. http://vimeo.com/48983878 reads like this too, and I can't find out how to setup an open tok media server, either.
