This sounds like Billy!

You wrong, open source is the next logical step in the evaluation
of computer science.

Twenty years ago I was member (as a Cobol programmer) of a team who
designed, and implemented a pre relational database management system
(at the time we didn't know anything about Codd's research) to handle
statistical data.  The source code of _every_ routine was widely
circulated between the programmers, and displayed all over the walls.
And guess what!  Those programs are still running (on a different steel
box).

Regards,

Ioan
