Awhile back we had discussion about why in the heck someone would want to
give away source without much, if any, monetary or business return. I think
it was on this forum but am no for sure (maybe midrange-L?) This video I
found on IBMSystemMags Twitter account pretty much sums it up for me:

Well worth the 11minutes to watch it - not to mention entertaining to watch
the guy drawing.
An excellent presentation! Thanks!

The mentioning of Atlassian triggered that I saw this presentation on Ted, which is very, very close to the narrative on the link you've given, and it sounds like the same guy, so my first thought was that it was an compressed version, but not quite :)

Strongly recommended too (he elaborates a bit on the terms), but not as fun to watch. I'll have a look for more from RSAnimate
