I'm reading various I made company/site/device x able do y, which seems like it would be 100x cooler if it was free for everyone to reuse and learn from. Could y benefit science, government, medicine, or diverse software which doesn't lock users into a platform, respects their privacy and self-determination? If hacker news was free software, what other communities might have sprung up and made the world better?
