In real open source, you have the right to control your own destiny.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
For me, open source is a moral thing.
I thought, if I went into business I'd be able to control my own destiny.
Control your own destiny or someone else will.
Control your own destiny! Control your own destiny!
I want to be in control of my own destiny.
Making things open-source brings the cost down.
If you want to build an open source project, you can't let your ego stand in the way. You can't rewrite everybody's patches, you can't second-guess everybody, and you have to give people equal control.
Over time, if you want rights, you have to also show that you can use them responsibly and that you can build a positive world in the online space, and that's also very important.
Empowerment of individuals is a key part of what makes open source work, since in the end, innovations tend to come from small groups, not from large, structured efforts.
In open source, we feel strongly that to really do something well, you have to get a lot of people involved.
