Hi all, For some time I am thinking about what firms or programmers can afford to develop open/free software. I myself have been using free programming languages ( Perl and now Python) for about 4 years.But it seems to me very difficult to develop free software because either I can program only when I have free time and then the development is going very slowly or someone must pay for the software anyway because programmers must also earn money to live and then why and who should pay for free software? And my question: Is it possible to develop open(FREE) software that is better or at least of same quality like paid software? What companies like ActiveState.com or similar live on if they offer free software? Best regards and thanks to all who still develop FREE software. Ladislav
