  Open Sources: Voices from the Open Source Revolution
Most of the Open Source authors consider their programs to be contributions to the public good, and don't care if they are paid at all.
Businesses are adopting the Open Source model because it allows groups of companies to collaborate in solving a problem without the threat of an anti-trust lawsuit, and because of the leverage they gain when the computer-programming public contributes free improvements to their software.
But the most reliable indication of the future of Open Source is its past: in just a few years, we have gone from nothing to a robust body of software that solves many different problems and is reaching the million-user count.

  TrouserPress.com :: Main Source
Main Source was formed by Toronto brothers K-Cut and Sir Scratch (Kevin and Shawn McKenzie) on the turntables.
But Main Source also pushed the limits of the musical form with "Peace Is Not the Word to Play," illustrating the dynamic possibilities of the two-DJ format.
Meanwhile, Main Source picked up old-school rapper Mikey D and made a second album (whether it actually reached stores in 1994 is in some doubt; it was reportedly bootlegged and finally did appear in 1999).

 Main Source - Breaking Atoms - Oh Word
Main Source’s Breaking Atoms is one of those records.
Ironically, the album’s source material is vast and varied.
Whereas most current producers attempt to highlight their sources, cleaning and updating a single old record for revival, Large Professor’s muddy, lo-fi production sounds completely alien, almost defiantly divorcing itself from the very elements from which it was wrought.

 Household dust is main source of flame retardants in humans
Household dust is the main route of exposure to flame retardants for people — from toddlers to adults — followed by eating animal and dairy products, according to a report in the July 15 issue of the American Chemical Society’s journal Environmental Science & Technology.
PBDEs are released into the environment at their manufacturing sources and also through everyday product wear and tear, which is the presumed source of the chemicals in house dust, according to Diamond.
Its main offices are in Washington, D.C., and Columbus, Ohio.

 USATODAY.com - Iraq likely to enshrine Islam as main source of law   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
CAIRO (AP) — The framers of Iraq's constitution appear likely to enshrine Islam as the main basis of law in the country — a stronger role than the United States had hoped for and one some Iraqis fear will mean a more fundamentalist regime.
Yet most Gulf nations' constitutions state that Sharia is "a main source" of legislation, while Egypt takes the more definitive phrasing of "the source" — a fine distinction taking on major importance in Iraq.
Former Egyptian President Anwar Sadat amended the constitution during the 1970s, changing the language from "a source" to "the source" to beef up his Islamic credentials rather than to start implementing Sharia.

Science Daily — Household dust is the main route of exposure to flame retardants for people — from toddlers to adults — followed by eating animal and dairy products, according to a report in the July 15 issue of the American Chemical Society’s journal Environmental Science and Technology.
Officials in the United States and Canada are still debating the fate of flame retardants, although the main U.S. manufacturer has discontinued production of two types of PBDEs — the penta and octa formulations — as part of a voluntary agreement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Main Source was an innovative, acclaimed Toronto and New York-based hip hop group comprised of Toronto natives Sir Scratch, K-Cut, and Queens native Large Professor.
So maybe at the time of release this song was not really a collaboration, but the fact that the artist that wasn’t in the group just so happened to go on to super-stardom, I would say it fits the bill.
Main Source featured two Canadians and New York-based producer (Large Professor) who you may owe for launching the career of the most famous of Queensbridge based emcees.

 ScienceDaily: Study Confirms Ammunition As Main Source Of Lead Poisoning In Condors
We knew that we could probably identify the sources of the lead using isotopic signatures," said Donald Smith, professor and chair of environmental toxicology at UCSC and a coauthor of the paper.
The researchers obtained blood samples from 18 free-flying condors in central California and 8 birds that had been raised in captivity and were still in holding pens waiting to be released.
The results show that lead ammunition in animals shot and left in the field is the predominant source of lead exposure in condors," he said.

Extremely significant for 1991's Breaking Atoms alone, Main Source's effect on hip-hop is nearly impossible to ignore, especially when considering Large Professor and K-Cut's contributions outside of the group.
Consisting of MC/producer Large Professor (born W.P. Mitchell) and twin DJs/producers K-Cut (born Kevin McKenzie) and Sir Scratch, the New York group came together in 1989 and debuted on Wild Pitch with Breaking Atoms -- an undeniably classic album, regardless of its field -- two years later.
1988-1994...for me was the golden era of hip-hop, and in 1991 a group called main source dropped breaking atoms...one of my all time favorite albums.
