“Software is supposed to be about
ideas, knowledge, and wisdom on
anything computing. Like all sciences
and and all branches of art...
Software should have been easily-
accessible to everyone which did not
really happen. Now that more
people are aware about this, I guess
it's reason enough we celebrate,
… that we pay homage to how
knowledge should be transferred:
Freely. ”- Jopes via Plurk
