Matthew Szulik runs a successful business that gives its products away for free.
What is more, Mr Szulik was recently named the United States Entrepreneur of the Year. The company he works for - Red Hat - turns a profit by distributing free, open source software; computer programs and applications that anyone can download.
It is one of a several firms that are based on the idea of enthusiastic individuals
freely sharing their programming talents.
This community of collaborators has thousands of individuals willing to share their time and ideas in return for not much more than a sense of creative satisfaction.
Open-source now accounts for around 20% of the entire software market.
