Jeeze, is it September already?
Open Source basically means what Ken said. The source is available for you to
look at, modify it to make it work best for you and make it work if it's not
working right for you.
If it's not working for you and you can't or won't try to figure out what the
problem is then pick something else. At least you have a choice.
Qualcomm did try to sell an enhanced version which lasted a few months before
they bailed. It doesn't mean they can't do that. If you had a choice between
support it yourself/via the list vs buying the product and getting support,
which would you do?
Ever hear of Red Hat?
