For example, I was tempted to add an anti-patent part to my definition of open source, but that's orthogonal. I don't think patenting is consistent with open source, but it cannot be part of the definition of open source, imho. Source releases are part of programming. What's new is the marketing hype, and it's not so new anymore. Here's the line I draw.
Programmers generally can work with each other.
The problems come when outsiders try to grab our work for their own purposes. As I read it, that's what inspired Stallman, and it inspires me too. The technology industry is not about technology. At best it pays lip service to technology. Stop everything and read this section of a very early DaveNet piece, written long before anyone had heard of open source.
