RICHARD: Well, the open source movement is sort of like the free software movement, except with the philosophical foundation discarded. So they don't talk about right and wrong, or freedom, or inalienable rights, they just don't present it in ethical terms. They say that they have a development methodology that they say typically results in technically superior software. So they only appeal to practical, technical values.
