Why Do People Write Open Source Software?
M.Broil writes "Two interesting articles try to answer this question. One's at NewsForge, the other's at Cybernaut.com. The two writers reach conclusions that are almost exactly opposite. Which one is right? Or is it possible that different open source coders have different motivations? (That's what I think, anyway.)" I suspect as well that each developer has their own reason, ranging from ego to malcontent to benevolence.

BSD is for people who love UNIX. Linux is for those who hate Microsoft.
i've heard this from a lot of people who use BSD, which makes me wonder, shouldn't this be "Linux is for people who love UNIX, BSD is for those who hate Linux" ? In my experience it seems that people who use BSD do nothing but badmouth Linux, and then accuse linux users of doing nothing but badmouthing microsoft (which most linux users don't do.)
