Open Source isn't just one mindset. This isn't exhaustive, but the ones I encounter the most.

* You have people that are ideologically driven (FSF)

* You have companies that Open Source as a weapon [0] (Chromium)

* You have individuals do it for their resume

* You have individuals that do it just for fun :)
