Just like ideas, the core-concept boosting software development is its free availability and by doing so Open Source software gets more and more into our lives influencing society on an ethical, political and, in a wider sense, cultural level.
The idea of free software comes from the concept of free exchange of ideas and information. The latter is held very much in consideration due to the potential it has demonstrated especially in the scientific environment. It is commonly agreed, in fact, that most of the know-how and technical advancement developed in the last 3 centuries comes from this approach. As with ideas, software is immaterial and can be easily reproduced and distributed.
