What modern hackers have been calling open source, may in fact be something else, especially when we start to use those workflows to collaborate on things beyond just computer code.\n+\n+## Open source as a philosophy\n+\n+> @benbalter The internet has noticed that you tried to define \"open source\"\n+\n+Not an email that you receive every day. As part of an effort to lower the barrier for getting started with GitHub, I published [a glossary of common GitHub jargon](https://help.github.com/articles/github-glossary#open-source), which included the term \"open source\". We defined it as:\n+\n+> Open source refers to a philosophy of collaboration whereby others (publicly, or within an organization) are encouraged to fork, modify, discuss, and contribute to an ongoing project. Open source software refers to software with source code that has been made available to others.\n+\n+For me, that's always been what open source is. It's a collaborative model, not a rights regime or political philosophy, and when you describe open source to non-developers, you don't lead off by talking about copyright assignment. Apparently, however, such a viewpoint was [the minority](https://twitter.com/kfogel/status/386259984817717248).\n+\n+## Open source as permissionless modification\n+\n+[Karl Fogel](http://www.red-bean.com/kfogel/), who *literally* wrote [the book](http://producingoss.com/) on producing open source software, and whom I admire greatly, argued in a series of emails, that since its inception, open source had always been about the right to modify, not the right to contribute.","path":"_posts/2014-01-20-open-collaboration.md","position":22,"original_position":22,"commit_id":"100ac21870ffa14381f7fbbcaebd1984895cdc74","original_commit_id":"100ac21870ffa14381f7fbbcaebd1984895cdc74","user":{"login":"benbalter","id":282759,"avatar_url":"https://gravatar.com/avatar/ea353bd28baa1aefaefae736a19fcf2a?d=https%3A%2F%2Fidenticons.github.com%2F38a6a424d30ece00b5a4a43a739c44b6.png&r=x","gravatar_id":"ea353bd28baa1aefaefae736a19fcf2a","url":"https://api.github.com/users/benbalter","html_url":"https://github.com/benbalter","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/benbalter/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/benbalter/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/benbalter/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/benbalter/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/benbalter/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/benbalter/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/benbalter/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/benbalter/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/benbalter/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":true},"body":"How is it a run on?
