> How much of the internet runs on it?

How many of the sites on the internet are open source though? A quick glance through the top 100 according to Alexa gives me 2 or 3 (wordpress and wikipedia, and really wordpress is more about the content, which is not open source, generally speaking.)




Site on the internet is something like a live performance.

You can't have copies of it because of its transient nature. Sometimes you do have a bootleg but your mileage may vary still.


I mean the code. The argument was “there would be less code if you didn't have the right to own code”, and I'm saying that although the internet runs on open source software, the vast majority of popular internet sites run closed-source software.


On top on an infrastructue of open source software.
