I've been reading some economics texts lately trying to find a way to explore the limits of my understanding of these issues. Once interesting topic I hope to look more at is the tradeoffs between competition and cooperation as game theory, etc. Very interesting. If I had time I'd try to simulate various configurations to determine how they play out, at least in theory :-\

As they say, simulations are only as good as the assumptions... or something like that.

I, too, am in love with the open source model! Nice article.

"I'm certain that a significant percentage of engineering talent is under-utilized, inefficiently applied and done so without much fulfillment/passion. Why else would Open Source be so popular? It's all about the muse."

Perfectly summed up in your article. This all about organized efficiency.
