Accidental Revolutionary says it best. The Cathedral and the Bazaar is a well known essay in the software dev. community, that O'Reily packaged into a book. The paper details the development of one of the earliest open source software projects and how the scope and functionality of the program grew as more and more people began to contribute and solve problems, all without a single cent being paid to anyone. Since this story took place this style of software development has blossomed to the point of being a substantial force in the software industry. Eric Raymond writes this in manifesto format, so it is more a series of rules and observations about how to harvest the community of computer geeks at large to create something that would be impossible without massive intellectual manpower. No Copyrights, no royalties, no proprietary bs. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, Bill. Philanthropy is not dead.
