In tech, billion-dollar corporations once set the rules — but open-source projects kept breaking them.

They shaped the way we browse, code, create, and even run entire businesses. This video explores how open-source software quietly became the backbone of the digital world, challenging corporate giants and empowering everyday users. It’s a story of collaboration, freedom, and resilience — showing that sometimes the best technology isn’t the most expensive, but the one that belongs to everyone.
