> I use about 15 open source tools. You clearly don't have a reliable idea about how much open source software you use, and how many people are behind this code. For instance you are probably using Firefox, some torrent client, Apache/Linux/Python/Ruby/PHP/MySQL and all the libs associated with this languages. Even if I stop now there are already a ton of guys involved. Even alone, the Ruby community, and just considering people "well known" inside the community, is a lot bigger than 100 individuals. Even if you are using Windows or Mac OS X there is a lot of BSD code inside. You DSL modem is built on open source software. Your world is full of open source.
