Indeed the financial support of open source by many users is atrocious. Beyond that you're proselytizing. This issue didn't get solved particularly quickly, either. Nor was "source to the whole stack" required -- kernel source made for a illustrative blog post but was not really part of the process. Do you have source files for the CPU? The motherboard? Your DRAM controller? At some point you draw the line and make shit work. Tools plus docs plus code is great, but you can make do with just one of 'em in a pinch.
