If you are careful you may be able to get away with it.
You need some buttons on your web site to allow people to link to you, then
you encourage people to create their own.
People will happily blog and link to you, and if you can get other "open"
companies to get involved you may be able to cooperate - while you may
compete in theory the market size is such that you are better off attacking a
common foe and growing your overall market together than attacking each
other.

I think that's the way to go.

Make sure you have the copyright and ownership and licence sorted out.
You don't need to be to fussy but you near to be clear on who owns what and so
on.
