Video is completely click-bait but worth only because of the first YouTube comment:
"One morning a colleague of mine turned to me and asked me if I would help him help out a friend of his who had just sent him some software that he had written. He forwarded the email he got from his friend on to me, and walked me through the accompanying instructions. That afternoon after work I installed the software as per instructions onto my 386. It was an absolute bitch to configure, but I managed to get it running. I ran a few of the test programs, entered the commands in the order set out by the instructions, and watched in awe as the operating system performed a variety of diagnostics at blistering speed. My colleague's friend from the other side of the world, Linus Trovalds, had sent him what he called "LiNUX". Ah man, I wish I archived that email!"
Why do corporations exist?
For longevity --- to perpetuate and provide for a path forward with growth and progress that supersedes any one individual. Individuals have a finite lifetime, corporations do not.
Open Source may offer the possibility of perpetuation but it typically does little to help plan, promote or insure it.
Organizationally, most successful open source projects are little dictatorships. It's a cute, simple and efficient way to organize a project --- simply appoint a "benevolent dictator for life" --- until you start to ponder what happens after the dictator is gone.
I'm thinking either chaos and disintegration or some corporation steps into the vacuum to assume leadership and control. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
