Mollom has the same problem as Akismet. It is backed by a proprietary service.
Hrm, yeah - the plugins are opensource, but the comments are sent to the "mothership" for checking and the mothership is closed source.
I haven't been able to find a completely open source spam prevention service - is there one?
Mollom does seem to have a good privacy policy: https://mollom.com/web-service-privacy-policy
but then, so does Akismet: http://automattic.com/privacy/
