Linux News->Is free and open code a form of infrastructure? How abo Options

[Vault9]

I was looking at what my friend Stephen Lewis wrote in HakPakSak a few days ago — specifically "...newspapers? roles as public trusts and cornerstones of our informational infrastructure — i.e. sources of solid information and independent commentary essential to informed citizenry, democratic government, effective public policy, and well-functioning economies".. What this brought up for me is the notion that human beings are themselves infrastructural; especially when they are constuctive contributors to the structure we call civilization.
