I have been wondering just why everyone puts their time and effort into free and open programs such as pd or full operating systems like Ubuntu without any solid monetary reward.
I find it interesting that these were created to help solve problems that current programs just cannot. Instead of just creating something yourself, you then put it out to the masses and everyone with similar problems will respond. Thus, everyone will get the problem solved through teamwork in a way that one person cannot do alone.
Collaboration is a strong problem solver and with the internet there is little holding back millions of people all working together to solve a problem.
