Whenever a fan project gets announced, especially one that garners real attention, a countdown begins. “There's a giant crater in my mind involving the timeline of events around the C&D because it was pretty devastating,” said combat designer Omari Smith to me recently. But on February 8, 2013, Fighting Is Magic was effectively cancelled, and despite the team’s attempts to find a resolution with Hasbro, the company wasn’t interested. It was long enough for fans to wonder if the lawyers at Hasbro were prepared to turn a blind eye.

Raymond’s 1997 essay “The Cathedral and the Bazaar.” Originally presented as a comparison of a top-down versus a bottom-up methodology in the context of open-source projects, the central metaphor quickly got blurred in the minds of the public into a broader comparison of closed source versus open source, with Raymond’s tacit acquiescence. The movement’s Little Red Book came in the form of Eric S. Linux and other software like it was, an eye-opening number of people said, destined to destroy Microsoft’s vaunted Windows monopoly any day now. For the next several years, you couldn’t open a trade journal or a newspaper’s business section without seeing some mention of the open-source movement and its leading exemplar, the robust and yet totally free - in all senses of the word - operating system Linux.
