Ah, the good ol’ days of open source. Let's take a trip back in time, shall we? The idea of open source software, where anyone and everyone could contribute, was nothing short of revolutionary. Picture a world before Google, Facebook, or even smartphones. That's where it all began.

🔍 Remember Linus Torvalds? The young guy from Finland? In 1991, he kickstarted this whole movement by releasing the Linux kernel. He casually dropped it on the internet like, “Hey, here’s this thing I made. Thoughts?” The tech world went nuts! Today, Linux is the backbone for many systems worldwide.

🌉 Then there was the iconic battle: Netscape vs. Internet Explorer. Netscape took the bold step of open sourcing their browser in 1998, which eventually evolved into Firefox. A phoenix rising from the ashes, Firefox showed the world the true power of collaboration.

Big enterprises weren’t far behind. IBM, a titan of the tech world, threw in a whopping $1 billion in support of Linux in 2000. Fast forward, and companies like Google and Microsoft are now some of the biggest contributors to open source projects. Oh, how times have changed!
