Domain registrars don't generally have grounds for being pro- or 
anti-OSS. If you want a "community conscious" registrar, you might want 
to try one that has a policy of cancelling the domains of spammers. 
GoDaddy.com is excellent there, and Doster.com is also very good.

In terms of quality of service, I seem to remember that Gandi.net had 
one of the top ratings from the Domain Name Buyer's Guide. You'll have 
to take my word for it though, because DomainNameBuyersGuide.com seems 
to have gone out of business.   :-(
