知乎上有这样一个问题：开源与共产主义的本质区别是什么？ 这个问题大约从自由软件运动兴起之时就有了吧。 一、大牛也犯浑 在《Revolution OS》中，Eric S. Raymond在被问起开源和共产主义的相似性时，有过如下回答： Absolutely nonsense, it makes me really angry when people do that. Communism is an ideology that forces people to share. If you don’t share, you get thrown in jail or killed. You got to a Gulag and end up in a mass grave with a bullet in the back of your head. Open Source is not communism because it does not force people.
