Open Source is sharing. It is a non-proprietary development strategy whereby the knowledge involved in creating a product is given away free to whoever wants it. Open Source encourages collaboration, and furthering of the human knowledge pool, by making information something that can be freely disseminated.

The two main ingredients of this site are the language Processing, which is an Open Source project, and the algorithms I have written using that language. You cannot copyright an algorithm, and (imho) to not open-source works created using Open Source tools would seem rather mean.

This is why the majority of works on this site have a “view source” link, which will allow you to see the code behind what you are looking at. All the code is licensed under a Creative Commons 3.0 License (Attribution – NonCommerical – ShareAlike) which basically means anyone is free to use it as long as they:
1. give http://www.zenbullets.com a credit
2. don’t use it for commercial gain
3. share anything created with it in the same way I have

If you do something cool with it, be sure to let me know.
