How did they do that?

Six Òimpossible thingsÓ: GNU/Linux, Wikipedia, the Creative Commons, the Blender Foundation, Open Hardware, and the OLPC/Sugar project. All created under free licenses for everyone to use, in defiance of our conventional ideas of business economics. Is it magic, coincidence, or just plain common sense at work here?

The author explores the reality of these projects from an insider's perspective and picks out a set of five easy to follow rules for keeping your own projects in tune with the rules of free culture and on the track to success.

Includes the entirety of the ÒImpossible ThingsÓ and ÒRules of the GameÓ article series written for Free Software Magazine, as well as five bonus articles on improving commons-based processes.

Paperback: 290 pages with 94 illustrations.

Good quality product
Attractive and sturdy! Only draw back are the small gaps in between the weave. Not large ones but they are present. I live in Chicago and it has held up nicely with the weather.

Do not buy it, unless you want to replace it every 6 months
Do not purchase this, it’s a waste of money. I’ve had it for only 6 months, and as you can see from the picture, the fabric is already coming apart. I don’t think this product is suitable for outdoor use. I live in an area with mild weather (mostly shaded, minimal rain, no snow, and limited sun exposure), and it still couldn’t handle that. Very disappointed. Customer support can’t help after 90 days, so the $100 I paid went to waste.

Outside Privacy!
I’m using this outside and it’s exactly what I needed! Since it’s in my flowerbed I sunk the little legs slightly to add stability…so far that’s working well.
