Major benefit of open source.... it's free for the most part. Faster innovation, generally more stable products, can be heavily customized because the source code is readily..

Not at all. Part of what I actually do it outreach to people to say hey you know what we have free English classes! And if your daughter is legal we have a scholarship so she can study to be a teacher or a paramedic. And if you live in some remote village like a lot of Hispanics in northern New Mexico, all of whom are American citizens by the way, we are working on getting all this on the internet. And if I can ever explain the benefit of open source to the faculty around here we can have a lot MORE classes in a lot of interesting stuff, for nothing more than the time it takes us to cut and paste it into out existing infrastructure and get it blessed by the powers that be. The last part is the hard part, it looks like. I definitely care. What I don't do is understand is what Gruss is all upset about.
