Who needs them!w00t

I hadn't heard of this thing before,so I thought it interesting enough that I'd share it with everyone here...Here's an outfit that started up an "Open Source" Cola Recipe for ANYBODY who wanted to make their own rival soda to the big players..and as it's open source,you can make your own recipe alterations to the mix,so long as you post them in the spirit of Open Source..
Happy Cola Making!

Ha, this time I can say it with honesty. Your link does not work.

I must say all these links are probably the reason for a couple of these zero response ones, I did a discussion on links the other week and even those that use them themselves admitted they hardly ever bother opening someone elses. A synopsis is much more original. Anyway I wouldn't have opened it anyway as if I just want a way to clean my keys or ensure all my teeth go black I'm sure that just eating sugar would take care of the latter and bleach with sugar in should work to keys just as well as coke, which has the added extra value of dissolving metal.

Try looking Open Cola up on wikipedia happy
OpenCola is a brand of cola unique in that the instructions for making it are freely available and modifiable. Anybody can make the drink, and anyone can modify and improve on the recipe as long as they, too, license their recipe under the GNU General Public License. Since recipes are, by themselves, not copyrightable, the legal basis for this is untested.[1]

Although originally intended as a promotional tool to explain free and open source software, the drink took on a life of its own and 150,000 cans were sold. The Toronto-based company Opencola founded by Grad Conn, Cory Doctorow, and John Henson became better known for the drink than the software it was supposed to promote. Laird Brown, the company's senior strategist, attributes its success to a widespread mistrust of big corporations and the "proprietary nature of almost everything."
