"People who study primate societies make a distinction……" — Eric S. Raymond

"People who study primate societies make a distinction between two kinds of cultural interactions, agonic and hedonic. In agonic societies, you gain status by asserting dominance over others. In hedonic societies, you gain status by drawing attention to yourself. Open source is a hedonic culture."

Eric S. Raymond
