>>31. Free software simply guarantees you the four freedoms that are defined by the FSF and proprietary software doesn't. The strategies used for development, funding, etc, aren't implied with either of those.
As for development models, I like the ones where I'm the only one working on the code. I dislike working with other people entirely, so neither the 'open' type where you have a bunch of illiterate critters submitting dirty, broken code to you, nor the 'closed' type where you're selecting a few humans and treating them like slaves seem appealing to me. Although, since both of those visualisations are obviously exaggerated, I probably wouldn't mind joining a project that used either of them, so long as a) I'm not using them for my own projects, and b) the code I write isn't violating any of the four freedoms defined by the FSF.
