Man that's a lame response. I really have to wonder if we didn't just get incredibly lucky that the initial culture of hackers that built the open source community and internet infrastructure was one that was very non-commercialized. I really have to wonder if all the companies that are thriving now on locked down hardware and proprietary systems, the same ones pushing everything to their proprietary cloud platforms would even be here and able to do half of what they do thanks to that culture of selflessness. If it didn't already exist and have such momentum, I'm really skeptical that anyone would reproduce the concept of free and open source software in today's day and age.
