Open Source is a rubber ball
We all know what a rubber ball is. Don't we? The harder you throw a rubber ball at something the harder it bounces back.
The open source culture is very much like one of theses rubber balls. If it is slapped in the face, ie. songbird, it bounces back. Like it did with the release of nightingale. This has happened many times in open source history. Before you go off in a huff, saying that what songbird did was against Linux and not open source, I wish to say that what they did was against the culture and way of open source thinking. Linux just happened to be the visible part of their thinking. However, they are old news now.
Open source is as old as computing itself.
