Anybody can make the drink, and anyone can modify and improve on the recipe. It was launched in 2001 by free software P2P company Opencola, to promote their open-source software concept.[1] BackgroundThe original version 1.0 was released on 27 January 2001 by Grad Conn, Cory Doctorow, and John Henson. The current version is 1.1.3. 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.[2] The Toronto-based company Opencola 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".[3] Flavouring formulaThe flavouring formula for OpenCola is:[4][5]
Concentrate formula
DilutionAfter mixing up the concentrate to the prescribed recipe (including all recommended safety precautions), the syrup is diluted 5:1 with ("preferably sodium-free") soda water to make the finished drink; at this dilution, the above combination of ingredients will yield approximately 24 litres of OpenCola. The full recipe also includes instructions for home-made soda water produced from basic ingredients such as yeast and sugar in order to make the entire process open source, otherwise there would be a need to use commercially produced bottled or canned soda, or consumer carbonation machines with commercially manufactured carbon dioxide canisters.[4][5] See also{{portal|Drink}}

Taking inspiration from Richard Stallman's famous dictum that free software was "free as in speech, not as in beer", it was meant as a kind of promotional tool. The recipe was published online for anyone to take and adapt. Version 1.0 was published on 27 January 2001 -- the latest version is 1.1.3. Opencola closed in 2003, but Open Cola's recipe is still around.}} 4. ^1 2 {{Cite web|url=http://www.opencola.com/download/3_softdrink/formula.shtml|title=OpenCola.com - Soft Drink Formula - Internet Archive|accessdate=2008-12-28|year=2001|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20010218075323/http://www.opencola.com/download/3_softdrink/formula.shtml|archivedate=2001-02-18}} 5. ^1 2 {{Cite web|url=http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bf/OpenCola_soft_drink_recipe.pdf|title=OpenCola Soft Drink Recipe|accessdate=2008-12-28|publisher=OpenCola.com|year=2001|author=Amanda Foubister|format=PDF}} External links{{cookbook}}{{commons category|OpenCola}}
