As an one of intellectual pundits in computer science, I think that the Open Source is one of the most influential discoveries in 21st century. The reason why I mentioned discovery not invention is that it is exactly fit with human nature. The thing is thing, but anything else. These are the things that are intellectually valuable and beneficial to everyone when pervasive. Such as music, philosophy, math, and natural science, the software is not the thing we can seize and prevent them from being disclosed. To whole human beings, these activities definitely make them valuable, but for artists, philosophers, mathematicians and hackers, it should be more than just valuable. Since we are human beings, we can not live just with intellectual achievements. We also need love, food, family and surely money.

Is there any new model to satisfy all of these conditions
1. making our society valuable as a whole
2. making each individual satisfying as an individual in our society
3. making them feel respects and achievements

We are not volunteer!
Need much sophisticated model rather than FOSS..
We also like you, yes human beings.
