Re: <nettime> the ?Cathedral? and the ?Bazaar?? |
It should be noted that "open source" has been appropriated by the spy-media-education industry as an asymmetrical method for taking from open sources but not giving back, instead classifying putting within password-gated campuses the open source material in order to obscure that the filchers have a pecuniary interest in freely cultivated goodies. So say the SMEs and their beneficiary contractors in their openly proclaimed suck-you fuck-you policy to advertise for adjunct-academic and edu-start-ups to participate in (get bribe money for) in national security (spit) national patriomny (spit) endeavors, hand out a few contracts to the willingly witting desperately-seeking down but not out bazaarists, and shut-out the disfavored with cathredral-like secrecy (tenure) orders, learning from the churches and banks to profess unction for believers and tithers while gathering wealth for the belly laughers of TARP for the top. Bill Gates himself did that, preached that, as did Steve Jobs. It is the golden egg luring millions to the openly promise medals of freedom from merciless religion of higher pecking order education then reap the profits when the bloodsucked students are dunned for ursurous loan-repayments into the skyhigh-paid admins' baskets. Consider Wikipedia and a host of like openers savaging of contributed labor, abetted by herds of martinets enforcing just what can be reputably (spit) published. Net non-profits (spit) are no different than the others in bait and switch via oh so weary rules of engagement for the unruly. Extreme unctuousity is bedevilment with strapped-on angel wings.
