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.

Hardcover: 290 pages with 94 illustrations.

A little disappointed
Size: One Size, Color: Tuscany
A little disappointed. Bag is a good size but the color is not the same as another Lucky Brand bag that I was trying to replace. It’s darker and not a true tan leather. The crossbody clip on is not leather.

Lucky Brand at Amazon Prices
Size: One Size, Color: Rose Quartz
Who doesnt love the smell of a new leather purse? And from Lucky Brand at Amazon prices? Sign me up! I plan to use this as a crossbody as the strap is the perfect length. So cute, great size and smells fantastic.

Nice bag, lots of pockets
I love the different sized pockets and the big ones in the middle. I also like that they are all zippered. I like the end pockets. Just the right size bag and the print is just as pretty as its picture!

Cloudmusic tote
Color: Blue Flowers in Black
I LOVE this bag! I bought it for use as a purse. I carry ALOT of stuff in my purse & after my Vera Bradley purse bit the dust, I couldn't find another one to replace it. This new purse is perfect! Nylon straps that aren't going to fray like the VB purse straps did,,, plenty of room for all my stuff,, infact more room than my old purse had. Made of nylon so it can be washed & the print is absolutely beautiful. I've already gotten many compliments on how pretty it is. It also came sooner than I was expecting it!
