Open source is a computer software term. People give time, work and expertise for something they often gain no reward for. Those that do get a salary in big companies. A small recompense for significant discoveries in computer science and electronic engineering.
Many are idealists and many make a contribution to the open source movement. It exists for many reasons but one of those is that ideas are free. And so is knowledge.
These are ideals. Knowledge is free and ideas are owned by all because this is human progress. Humanity will progress faster without the inhibitors allowed by modern constructs.
One is the ownership of ideas. They're not. They're open source. Free. To be edited. To be criticised and corrected.
They're open source because that's how great ideas are made.
