I was hoping for more substance. The title implies the article would compare/contrast Public vs Open for APIs. But it doesn't really do that. There is a bullet list of "what makes an open API?" but not one of "what makes a public API?". Some examples of each with reasons why it they fall into the category they do would be nice as well.
