Thinking about inventive users and open source software...
When I first read about the Open Source movement,
I though that it was a group of developers that
wanted to create software in the same way that an
artist creates his work:
A lasting work of art that trascend time
because of his many outstanding and
unique qualities...
Hmmm, looks like I was wrong in my first impression
about Open source, but just in case:
Could anyone show me these outstanding artistic
qualities in Open Source software?
That's a very thoughtful question, Alejandro. I'm certainly no FOSS
expert, and perhaps Mark Weider or David Bovill can contribute more
concretely here, but that didn't stop me from writing my own offhand
thoughts on this. ;)
As sometimes happens during my morning coffee, that got a bit lengthy
for this list, so out of respect for the readers' bandwidth here in this
OT thread I posted it to the LiveCode Journal blog:
