Critical of the Eric Raymond model, which he says examined an empirical case, the early growth of Linux, and distilled what he took to be the active ingredient &mdash; massive independent peer review &mdash; he points out that while such review may help debug software, that it doesn't inspire software (nor new ideas in general) unlike a culture of freedom such as free software promotes. Additionally, open source only promotes peer review of those who can afford access, whereas the free software movement encourages a much wider peer review, and &ldquo;that's just better for software too,&rdquo; this insider claims.
