> Focusing on code was a bit of a mistake; that's cheap and you get it for free But as you said the people who spent their time writing the code generally didn't have the influence to release data, so there was very little lost time-opportunity.

And through their efforts they managed to drag open concepts into the mainstream consciousness so that releasing data becomes a digestible mainstream concept instead of a crackpot manifesto.
