What does it mean to be an 'indie'? Why is it even a question?

This collection of people are now the accidental driving force of the gaming industry. They didn't ask to be, they weren't trying to be and they probably don't even know it themselves yet. So what does it mean to be 'indie'? It means lots of things; it means being independent, it means being allowed to make mistakes, it means you're unafraid of taking a chance and it means that above all else you just love games.
