Open-source

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.

This is a page about the Open-source syndrome. See Open source Disease entry for the other meaning.

A reason for parents to be concerned? Or just kids being kids? Whatever side of this controversy you're on, one thing's for sure: Open-source is here, it's been around for ages, and it's not going away any time soon.

Open-source of course refers to the hot fashion of being out in public with more and more source code exposed. Some worry that this makes today's youth "cheap", or "too easy to take advantage of". Others feel that it's downright disrespectful of onlookers with more traditional intellectual property values.

"They're like little tramps, running around in broad daylight with their code hanging out; boys with FORTRAN showing on their chests, girls with Java clearly visible on their bellies", says one local woman who prefers not to be identified. "It's an outrage."

But the kids say it's not such a big deal. According to one tenth grader, the exposed source code is only helping the kids to fix one another's bugs. "It's a communal thing", says Jennifer of Austin, TX. "Anyone who has a problem with that is just too old-fashioned."

But it doesn't look like the controversy is going to cool down any time soon. Dr. Shannon Kints stressed, "The unprotected and frequent use of open source has been known to result in many treatable, yet unnecessary, ailments, commonly referred to as Open Source Transmitted Diseases or OSTDs. Halitosis and open sores are quite common umoung open source advocates."

"Fix one another's bugs? I would have never said something so disgusting when I was her age."
