Ow, I'm sorry - I was actually writing open-source software this month.
Kind of a "philosophy of the deed" ;)
I think that things like copyrights and patents are about politics and
money, and thus can be found at the social level. Also I see that the
"hacker world" has a tremendous energy on both social and intellectual
levels, I think this can be related to DQ very easily. Try comparing the
hackers[1] movement with the hippy movement - sure a lot of things are
different but there are some tendencies feeling very alike. As for
copyrights, hackers tend to dislike them for good reasons, so they
obviously belong to/are part of SQ.
... since my software project is nearing it's deadline I have no time to
reply on the rest of your post at this moment ... maybe tomorrow.
[1] "hackers" does not mean the same as "crackers" to me - see
