Well, it sounds like we're wasting our time with all this free software
stuff then, huh?!

Your argument could be generically applied to anyone accepting free
software as part of their product, and yes - that includes Tivo
themselves!

Personally I think the market is starting to grow up a little bit, as
businesses realize that free software is the best means of software
production. But perhaps I'm wrong, and the billions of dollars in
investment is actually nothing more than a blind gamble.
