Believe it or not, there are people out there that have a large amount of altruism flowing through their veins. In our capitalistic society, such concern for others isn't very common but fortunately for Internet users, there are a number of web developers that consider making a better Internet higher on their list of priorities than personal gain and were it not for them, the Internet wouldn't be nearly as much fun and affordable.
Simply put, something that is Open Source has been uploaded to the Web and made so that anyone can download a copy and use it...for free. There are tons of Open Source materials online and each one represents the fruit of hundreds of hours of work and then given away to help make the world - and the Web - a better place.
Cool, huh?
