Open source advocates are no longer seen as hippies or rebels sticking it to the man comprised of giant corporations that write the world’s most popular software. In fact, some of the biggest proponents and allies of open source come from those corporations. Just like how the world has changed its perception of programming from a ???nerdy thing??? to ???everyone can code???, the attitude towards open source has become more welcoming if not at least more tolerant. And it’s not like people have much choice because open source practically runs our modern world.
