All frontend code is open source by default.
The web is open by default.
Design ( Not so open )
“Developers are more open, contribute code and discuss about bettering

“...While Designers seem secretive, ego- filled and seeking pointless exclusivity.”
The feeling is mutual. ( See, we agree on something!
)
“We’re all making software.”

Or even illustrating...
Then you can contribute to an open source project.
