I've been working with open source software since before the term existed (it used to be called "free" before licensing was understood.) At this point, I think it is mostly a bad idea. First, the big users of most open source software are big Fortune 500 companies run by a bunch of billionaires - so why should they get software free? Second, I think that everyone should get at least a living wage for any work they do - so working for free really reflects an economic system that was set up to create winners and losers. So now I would prefer to see more managed economies - less tolerance for the billionares, and less tolerance for a system where people must work for free to get the chance to get a good job.
