I think a good defenition is anarchy, people working for the common good
(anarchy is not chaos). The common good in the case of the free Unixes was
the capability to use and develop professional strength system. The money
factor as an incentive appeared mostly once the sytem proved that it was
able to perform some real work. If not for the people of the free *BSDs
and Linus, and the GNU fundation we will not have something like that
today. They did not received money (besides free willing contribution, GNU
being a special case) at the time they were developing the system. So, the
money with these people is not the main motive to get to work. The dynamic
is different and this is what we need to understand for the AdaOS.
You can have a hobby and work for it seriously. For prof.
programmers/hackers, creating a program is still an art. And this may be
the other type of motivation.
Well, still no news from the AdaOS team.
