Yes, cooperation between different groups with different goals which happen to have a point of intersection is where the power of FL/OSS really lies.

But it is important to note that FL/OSS started with the pony tails and sandles crowd. Thirty years of UNIX(tm) in-fighting makes it pretty clear that the suit and tie crowd would never have come up with such a method of software development. Actually, they have come up with the idea. Many times. It's just that the back-stabbing always started up before a finished product came out. (One needs to look no further back than SCO/IBM/Monterey. All parties involved have been stabbed at least once.)

The suits need the sandles to keep them in line. And I don't know about you, but I think a suit looks oh so much better without a big blood stain on the back.

Now smoogen, couldn't you have refrained from that nasty barb regarding Sun Microsystems? Their potty training has improved notably over the last year. ;-)
