Joel Spolsky on the economics of open source :

There ain't no such thing as a free lunch [TANSTAAFL].
        Debugged code is NOT free, whether proprietary or open source.
        Even if you don't pay cash dollars for it, it has opportunity
        cost, and it has time cost. There is a finite amount of
        volunteer programming talent available for open source work, and
        each open source project competes with each other open source
        project for the same limited programming resource, and only the
        sexiest projects really have more volunteer developers than they
        can use. To summarize, I'm not very impressed by people who try
        to prove wild economic things about free-as-in-beer software,
        because they're just getting divide-by-zero errors as far as I'm
        concerned.
