UH??? You don't even know what open source is about! Open source isn't just a matter between you and a few partners! When you open your source, you make it freely available for the whole community to benefit of it, to modify it, correct some bugs, add some features or use it as part of their work. Whether you agree with this method or not is up to you, but at least make sure you know what the hell you're talking about.
<ad hominem>
Or unless you're just a troll and just want to attract attention. In that case, be my guest; this forum is starting to get boring. ;)

*yawn* thx I know what "open source" means..duh
and the bigger picture is there are TWO concepts...you keep it to yourself or you give it away.
I offered two situations, one..I kept it to myself and two...the guy didn't. Try to draw a comparison.
(I'll help if you need it)
SUN gotted F*cked by MS on Java cause they didn't "keep it to themselves". One "party" exposed themselves to another "second party" (in the case of "open source" this party would be "everyone" to which you refer [user "nobody" or "iusr_whatever", if that helps you understand]) and shouldn't have.
Everytime you make something open source you shoot yourself in the foot.
Try to draw comparisons here, this isn't math.
Laukev7:
I don't entirely agree with the open source movement myself, but what you just posted doesn't make any sense whatsoever. I don't think you understand what open source is about, even if you think you do. Java isn't even open source; this has nothing to do with the subject at hand.
