Sounds a little like Woody Guthrie's philosophy.

I'd never thought about this before but I wonder if people who grow up in a strong folk music tradition have more of a sense that things are made to be shared, not hoarded?  I grew up literally surrounded by Scottish Traditional musicians and singers, and everyone learned everyone else's songs.  There were rules, it was considered terribly infra dig to do a song someone else had done that night, and you gave credit where it was due, and you accepted that just because the way someone else sang it was different from how you sang it, didn't mean one of you was right and one of you was wrong.

But I'm just some daft opensource zealot who values community more than the penny value of my time.
