Joel On The Economics of Open Source
Stephen writes "The ever-incisive Joel Spolsky discusses the economics of open source software in his latest Joel on Software column. Why do so many large companies want to develop open source software? It's not because they have suddenly converted to Stallmanism."
People use/develop Open Source because we're all cheap ass bastards.
Like me. But at least I admit it.

How can BSD be dying when it has girls like this supporting it? The best Linux can come up with is an obese penguin. What are those Linux people smoking?
What we need are more free software babes like her. This guy looks like he is about to cream his pants standing next to such a fox. Even this old Unix guru looks like he's having trouble keeping his wang under control when close to such an amazing babe. This girl has to be one of the hottest ever! I can tell you that I'll be installing BSD after catching sight of her!
Linux will never be able to compete until it ditches the fat arctic birdlife and gets itself a mascot like this little hottie. Let's face it: there's just no way Tux is ever going to compete with the divine Ceren. She is surely the woman of every computer geek's dreams. Wouldn't you kill to get just this close to her.

Impossible for any one individual or company to replicate? I find that hard to believe. There isn't a single open source product out there that doesn't exist a better commercial version of. Most people today tend to throw together crap and when they run out of the interest in working on it, release it as open source and pat themselves on the back as doing things for the community. Time equals money, and you most definitely do get what you pay for.
Is your browser retarded?
Assuming we don't nuke Pakistan and get nuked in return, I'm willing to bet none of the money will go to you and all the money will continue flowing to us Indians.
Enjoy!
