I forgot to point out that Free Software is most definitely the 
traditional development method.  When GNU was started, it was in 
response to a change from the traditional method to a black-box 
distribution method for software.

Our entire history of science and engineering is Open.  Understanding 
the way things work has been the hallmark of our development as a 
society.  Don't forget that.
