The Berkeley hackers saw themselves as rebels against the large, corporate empires that were starting to control the tech industry. They were driven by a desire to develop innovative and innovative services to problems, instead of merely following the status quo. They were likewise motivated by a sense of liberty and self-reliance, and sought to challenge the corporate giants that were significantly controlling the market.
