    You must still be in college or high school. When you get out into the real world, "free software" ideals take a backseat to a paycheck.


    Anyhow, IBM is actively sending programming jobs to india. But don't let that stop you from spending your free time being an unpaid open source coder. It really helps IBM's bottom line.


    Hurray Open Source!
