Without Open Source, there would be no Internet. One thing people don't seem to understand is that most programmers, especially "open-source" programmers, have pride!

Many of them are even OCD about their code. -- "Life, loathe it or ignore it, you can't like it." -- Marvin, "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"
