This is wrong:

"In my opinion the advantage of most OSS CMS-es is that they support 
open standards. Thus they are more easy to integrate with other systems, 
whether OSS or proprietary."

Open standards (input and/or output) have nothing to do with proprietary 
systems or OSS.

And really there are many different kinds of OSS licenses. So really, 
you probably need a lawyer to to sign off on the license terms to make 
sure you are within the law.
