“The joy of sharing

“There’s this saying that I like: “Wisdom alone is true
ambition’s aim, wisdom is the source of virtue and of fame;
obtained with labor, for mankind employed, and then, when most you
share it, best enjoyed.” With selfless dedication, Linux and the
entire FOSS community have given so much for the advancement of
technology. Like, thousands of FOSS developers from around the
world share their knowledge not because their main priority is to
earn millions or even billions of dollars, but because they want to
create something that can be useful to others without expecting
something in return. Indeed there’s a joy in sharing.”
