I think that you are putting way too much into this.

GAR is written by and for OpenCSW [1], so I think it is quite correct to 
say that "gar is a part of OpenCSW". What is not correct is to say that 
"OpenCSW is a part of GAR". OpenCSW is more than that, GAR is only a 
supporting tool for us.

Adding GAR to the OpenCSW project on ohloh is not part of a crusade to 
force any of you to use GAR.

[1]: yes, it was originally based on GOMES GAR, but we (Dago) has 
re-written so much of it that we can at least almost call it our own.
