CRAP. It was supposed to be Open Source is LEADING to Outsourcing. Ugghhhh....
Also buy the software if it is for sale instead of pirating. That will help a little or make the outsourcing companies richer:)
Open Source is one of the main problems with software. How can companies make money on software is the problem? When everyone like IBM, SUN, Novell, etc... is screaming linux + Open Source -- people hear "Free Software." This then leads to no one wanting to buy software, people just want to buy service for help questions and tech suppport.
The Free software movement is taking away because software is no longer as profitable and therefore companies have to find a way to make it cheaper. That means if you can make your program with 20 coders make 10k instead of 20 coders make 60k+ then that is what these companies are forced to do.
