Hehe.
Isn't this how it used to go? :
FOSSFAN: Open Source is good because you can fix the stuff yourself and improve it yourself.
BUSINESSPERSON: I can't program, I won't program, sooo.. that means pretty much ziltch to me.
I need to get work done.
FOSSFAN: Errr. well. Yes. But you could always pay somebody else to do it.
BUSINESSPERSON: Well I pay for software already. But say I want to pay somebody to do it for
me, who would I pay?
FOSSFAN: Errr...
REDHAT: Pay me!
FOSSFAN: Sellout!!
I kid!
