I suppose you don't have a clue what open source means. Food, cars and houses ARE and have always been open source. It is the know-how of how to make those things.

Exactly. Give me and some guys a Ford and some tools, and we'll give you as many cars as you want. Give me and some guys a CD with AmigaOS on it and i'll... Probably make a pirate copy. That analogy doesn't work, damn. I'll think one up in a bit.

Everything used to be open source. Patents, copyrights, et al granted limited exclusivity for a fixed period of time. Things changed when ideas became the property of organizations with lifetimes spanning centuries.

Yet people still buy copies of public domain works... Stupid isn't it. In school everyone had to get a Copy of romeo and Juliet for English. Most either had copies at home already or just bought them. Me? printed it off the internet. Teacher actually accused me of doing something illegal.:roflmao:
