ICYMI, there was recently a groundswell of political fervor here in these United States of America called No Kings . Seems folks are upset about the idea of their country being run by a Dictator.

Well…given this I figured it was time for me to tackle another political movement found in the world of Free/Libre/Open Source Software (aka FLOSS) which promises some odd parallels. Note: you don’t need to be a programmer to grasp these concepts! I will attempt to write about this from a “tech enthusiast” perspective.
