Do you smell that?

| That's a lot going on in a short period. Why does it matter? Because it's a
| completely different way of running technology. In the current system, Bill
| Gates and Steve Jobs get filthy rich by making something and selling a
| license to use it as-is...but it's still theirs, and you're not allowed to
| change anything, lest ye be sued for lots of cash. In an open source
| community, Linus Torvalds gives you his program, and now it's everybody's, to
| do with how they please, and anybody can change it however they want to make
| it better (utilizing what the Intertube users call the Hivemind, the
| collected efforts of countless people online). Generally, this is all done
| free, too.
