Making things open-source brings the cost down.

I think open source is an evolutionary idea for humanity, this idea of transparency. It played out for us in the technology world, but it also played out with the idea of a truth and reconciliation commission and Wikipedia.

In open source, we feel strongly that to really do something well, you have to get a lot of people involved.

In real open source, you have the right to control your own destiny.

I think, fundamentally, open source does tend to be more stable software. It's the right way to do things.

When I first got into technology I didn't really understand what open source was. Once I started writing software, I realized how important this would be.

Companies have been trying to figure out what it is that makes open source work.

A lot of people who work on open-source software don't mind making money elsewhere. They aren't anticommercial.

Many people think that open source projects are sort of chaotic and and anarchistic. They think that developers randomly throw code at the code base and see what sticks.

Open source is a beautiful way of collaborating; but what's happening on the free Internet is more akin to the 'crowdsourcing' of journalists and other content creators by advertisers who no longer have to pay them - only the search engines that parse their articles.
