Open Source, Less Labor, More Love
,----[ Quote ]
| Open source software is inextricably tied to the idea of "giving it away."
| Projects open their code for a number of reasons -- to better the codebase,
| or to allow others to bend an application to their own needs. Maybe the
| reasons are entirely altruistic, or maybe the altruism is the happy side
| effect of more project-centric decisions.

| That sense of joyful wonder, playful construction and even sense of danger
