Kamyshev and Lee: Open-source software defies theory
,----[ Quote ]
| Imagine a group of Yale students is conducting a research project on their
| favorite economics topic of supply and demand. They open up Firefox, type in
| Wikipedia and sift through a few pages. Somewhere on the background, a piece
| of software called MediaWiki — run by an Apache Web Server — renders a page
| by using data from a MySQL database; most of the data is hosted on the
| operating system Ubuntu Linux. A good day’s work is done, and the students
| close their computers.
