That there is no cost in open source software. Someone is paying the price for open source software. Employers, employers being stolen from, individuals using their spare time, individuals who have been given/made a lot of money or the state. I worry for younger people who have an over romanticised view of open source and would ask that they consider how their open source heroes created their software. Were they supported by academia, employment or the state? Make sure you can pay the bills before you think you are ARPANET or Linus Torvalds. Make sure the 100/0s of hours invested were a good use of your time.
