The Creation of Open Source
Daniel L. Johnson MD has put together
a fable about the origins of open-source software.
"One Gownie, a brilliant and unkempt thinker, the Man who Stalls,
turned the Townie philosophy upside down. If Intellectual Property
Rights could be used to keep ideas secret and to accumulate Money,
then they could also be used to force ideas into the public and to
accumulate Knowledge."
