Open source is for lovers
It's true. If you think about the characteristics of open source and the qualities of a successful relationship, you will find a lot of overlap.
OPEN: You have to be open and flexible to make a relationship work.

Too bad. Buy a new car. If we aren't flexible and open to change--if our hoods are welded shut--it makes it extremely difficult to keep the (love) engine running.
