"Host Randal Schwartz kicks off the podcast with a question
about Twitter: Is Tim concerned that "Twitter is anything but
open?"
"I like to think I have a more nuanced view of open than a lot
of people. Some purists will say that [I'm] a traitor....From the
very beginning of my advocacy about open source, I've really just
been interested in having interesting things happen in the
world.
"The reason I like open source and worked on this idea of
renaming it from "free software" to "open source" was because I
don't think it's a religious issue. It's really about how do we
actually encourage and spark innovation. Because for me a more
interesting world is one where there's more innovation and more
freedom to innovate....
"The idea is that people can build on it. You give it away
because you want other people to do things with it that you can't
do or don't want to do."
