Re: [ox-en] John Mark Walker: There Is No Open Source Community

Open source, as a non-private appropriation of individual and collective work, is to my mind, morally higher than private appropriation for selffish or profit motives,
   
  that aside from the pragmatic differences, felt keenly by the victims of IP-protected medicines which they cannot affort because of high prices, as an example.

Yes. Open source is a pragmatic methodology. Like extreme programming

I believe that free software inhabits the higher moral ground, but not
open source.
