| Somehow the Free and Open Source software world acquired this silly 
| image of happy hippies living in perfect harmony, altruistically 
| cranking out awesome code for the betterment of humankind. As if! 
| You will surely be disappointed if that's what you expect to find. 
| What you will find is it's founded on healthy values. It is 
| structured to reward both cooperation and independence, so there's 
| no need for threats of dire punishments to keep people in line, and 
| few limitations on creativity or invention.

| It wasn't until later, giving the same presentation at Linux World that
| I'd missed giving at the Apple show, that I realized that Apple were
| scared of the SuSE Linux desktop I was using. They didn't want 
| customers to see anything other than Apple-badged everything at
| their show. Especially if it was something better. They were
| scared of their customers even seeing a choice.
