Wow. Just . . . wow. He's going to change the world for a lot of people. Partly because he's giving it away. It makes me think of Tim Berners-Lee and his open-source browser software that became the World Wide Web.
“There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”
