Open-ness in species
3 years ago
General
As a Linux user and a big advocate of open source software I would like to give my opinion about open species. In my opinion open species are important, due to the fact that it gives an artist or the creators of the open species an opportunity to bring people together under something they have in common, giving fans of the open species a sense of belonging, community, and unity. It's just something I thought about. What do you think ? Feel free to comments respectfully.
