Lies, damn lies, and statistics...

  "We show that Debian 2.2 includes more than 55,000,000 physical SLOC
  [...], showing that the Debian development model (based on the work of a
  large group of voluntary developers spread around the world) is at least
  as capable as other development methods [...] It is also shown that if
  Debian had been developed using traditional proprietary methods, the
  COCOMO model estimates that its cost would be close to $1.9 billion USD to
  develop Debian 2.2."
