Linux and Decentralized Development
January 15, 1998
This essay describes the facts and merits of the decentralized
form of Linux development and support. It suggests some ways that the
continued development and growth of Linux can be encouraged. In many
ways, this is not a Linux-specific document; many of the principles
could be applied equally well to other ``free'' software initiatives
such as the BSDs. A particular ``agenda'' here is that I would like to
see Linux users contributing financially to sponsor development projects
for useful system components.

Opinionated Links
The things I advocate are sufficiently voluminous (and unwieldy) that
they now have their own Advocacy Web
Page.
