I lived in a free software community in the 1970's, although we didn't use that term, when I was working at the artificial intelligence lab at MIT. It was part of a community where we shared the software that we developed, and all the software that we used was the software of the community, and we were happy to share it with anyone that was interested in it, and we hoped that if they improved it they would share it back, and often they did.
