Nobody is making money selling open source software.

They're all profiting from it, in different ways, as we've shown you. In ways that are outside the corporate system. At the very least, they get access to source code -- a *very* lucrative thing -- and education and experience, both *very* valuable things.

And I think you know that.

It's pure self-interest that drives a person into open-source. The "Galt's Gulch" of the 21st century.

Grrrrrrrreat. Whereas previously they might have been able to sell the software they write (and thereby feed their family), they're reduced to begging.
