This paper uses the theories regarding free software movement and applies its values and ethics to a study of collaborative socio-cultural projects on the Internet. Many of the moral values attributed to hackers that do collaborative work to produce software as, for example, Linux, they are encourager and motivators of a great variety of projects in other knowledge areas. Here there are statements of some artistic and cultural projects that use this ethic to produce and attain success with their objectives.Downloads
