The reason that Linux took off was because it gave the FSF a working operating system kernel they could use to build their UNIX replacement. It was a rare case where someone's personal project matched perfectly with the needs of a grou

The same claims were made during the outsourcing craze of the 90 and early 2000s. Companies tried to save money by sending development overseas to Indian sweatshops. They quickly learned you get what you pay for. If you need some backoffic
