Sharing knowledge is power

Today knowledge has power. It controls access to opportunity and advancement.”

I’ve experienced some corporate cultures when knowledge is hoarded, possibly in the hope that power can be hoarded. I don’t subscribe to that theory. I believe that in the modern day OSS industry, the sharing of information controls access to opportunity and advancement.
