I don’t think there is a metaphor that could be considered even remotely analogous to open source software.

Challenge accepted.

Ahhaaha! Gotta love some of your off the cuff comments man (edit: you got me doing them now lol).
But yeah, I’m sure you’d do a damn good job getting close.

It would be fairer to say that everyone was given a big pile of wood and a hammer. Jon just had the brains to build the house.

The other guys were off building boats and bridges is the point.

@castles: instead of talking about trees and hammers, answer your messages and teach me bout custom binding contexts.[/quote]

Just use the source

So why be upset that Jon wants to charge people for staying in his house?

Nah, I’m more upset I can’t fix the leak in the roof. Damn rentals!

I’ve got 99 problems but the source of my favorite software ain’t one.

The thread starter has ignored that GNU Emacs has been breaking the GPL for a while…

BTW, vi has not been developed for about 33 years now and is still used. What does that say about “death”?
