I failed to put this complete on topic.  FS/OSS is a very strong "change
agent" now too.  Contrast it to proprietary models where change is
drastic and sudden.

FS/OSS the constant change is public, not hidden.  The choices are open
for participation instead of thrust upon the users.   Compatibility gets
broken sometimes but it is known and debated up front.

I know I am painting some extremes and ideals here.  It's really a
continuum with different projects or licenses lying along them.  But
that is harder to talk about in a brief email late at night.
