Eric Raymond's "The Cathedral and the Bazaar" and "Homesteading the Noosphere" (both on the web) are excellent reading and discussion materials. It clearly outlines hacker responsibilities with open-source software development. http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/writings/cathedral-bazaar/cathedral-bazaar/ http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/writings/cathedral-bazaar/homesteading/ These readings are noteworthy and the biggest reason why Netscape decided to open up its closed-source proprietary code to open-source. Mozilla 1.0 is now the product of this proprietary to open-source revolution that took inspiration and courage from the precepts of these readings.
