Some Penguin Inspiration
"The simple commitment to share code is probably the single most powerful contributor to the growth of the open source software movement in general, and Linux in particular. That commitment has also encouraged involvement from [...] people who are willing to contribute back to that community in all kinds of ways. The willingness of Linus* to incorporate code from others [...] has also been critical to the success of Linux." (emphasis added)
*Linus Torvalds, the originator of Linux

Good inspiration pick indeed. personally i would have highlighted "simple commitment to share code"..."powerful contributor". but to each his own =)
Chose that part cause I think Linus' openness to others modifying his code made all the difference :)
