:-) Just to offer a few historical corrections...
If I'm not mistaken HttpD is the project that started it all, its the mother ship of open source community driven projects.
Far from it, but yes, httpd was the first *Apache* project. But far from even an early open source project.
I think the enabling force behind the whole open source concept is linux, its a machine that takes source code as its input, the compiler is part of the OS, and its founder keeps it that way.
There again - Linux was a latecomer (even to GNU's table). The biggest earliest community of httpd community were primarily BSD folks. But httpd and ncsa web server both go back to roots in BSD, Linux and several other unix'es, it was always conceived as multi-platform through posix api's.
Thats where I think the roots are...
