That is sooooo true.. whats the difference between 5000 hours and 5100 hours.
But I think the argument they avoid is "Big Business" that can afford to spend 5000 hours coding a project, exploiting and benifitting from opensource. Done by people on they're own time who have put alot of hard work into it.
So lets take the Windows XP source and change it a little, call it Open Windows YQ and sell it. I'm sure MS would slap you with a law suite.
But here's the joke a company like MS that has unlimited resources ($$$) can't seem to make a clean stable OS.. Were you take Linux or BSD for example, done by people on a volenteer basis and they can?? Why doesn't this seem to make sense.
