Open-source software will one day be as important as democracy itself.
These CNBC documentaries are actually startlingly informative and accurate (correct me I'm wrong), from such a mainstream news site, these are very good videos for the mainstream to know
Corrections: Richard Stallman did not started the Open Source movement, he started the FREE SOFTWARE MOVEMENT.

It's nice to see some mainstream coverage of open-source.
As a newcomer Software Engineering student I appreciate open source projects a lot. They are a great way to learn new things about a coding language or how some feature could be done. They help a lot with checking out logic and self-improvement.

Sometimes I feel bad. Because I'm aging. Being 43 is not fun. Not as fun as being 22. But, it is a much better world than when I was born. It's so amazing how many things changed in my life time.

Well, I met the man who invented the Visicalc cell lines. He put it out as 'shareware' and waited for the money to flow in. I met him at his job, as a clerk at Radio Shack. Shareware, in his case, earned him $33 for that effort...
Watching this on an android powered phone while using QGIS on the computer. Haha.
This is amazing. Makes me love humanity all over again. Collaborative environments are always beautiful
Thanks for having actual real captions for the Deaf - makes much easier to watch.
Lets go! We Open Source Devs are getting recognized!
You know what can end all of this though? A comet smack right onto Earth.......LMAO
Open-source is an idea SO POWERFUL it's right up there with the scientific method. The biggest multi-disciplinary paradigm of this era.
