The gift of sharing

  "[...] a model of social organization based on mutual aid, voluntary
   collaboration and egalitarian decision-making challenges the dominant
   paradigm of economical commodification. In as much as the production of
   FOSS relies on practical actions (doing) - doing understood as learning
   and change - it is evident that a confrontation between opposing
   political cultures is taking place. One part of this conflict requires a
   continued attention to how the world of FOSS is to be understood, and I
   believe a critical approach to the notion of gift economy is needed. As
   Thomas Franks wrote: We might be witnessing the conquest of cool - and
   as soon as there is money in it we have lost."
