Bullshit.  You're an unemployed programmer who couldn't make it as a 
.NET developer.

I can only imagine what kind of idiocy you "published".

A tiny few might be driven by altruism, but the vast majority just want 
to pay the bills.  If they can find a job in an interesting area of 
research that excites them, they're lucky.

More bullshit.  It's open and free because some people like to code.

"Abstract:
In this paper we report on the results of a study of the effort and 
motivations of individuals to contributing to the creation of Free/Open 
Source software. We used a Web -based survey, administered to 684 
software developers in 287 F/OSS projects, to learn what lies behind the
effort put into such projects. Academic theorizing on individual 
motivations for participating in F/OSS projects has posited that 
external motivational factors in the form of extrinsic benefits
(e.g.; better jobs, career advancement) are the main drivers of effort. 
We find in contrast, that enjoyment-based intrinsic motivation, namely 
how creative a person feels when working on the project, is the 
strongest and most pervasive driver. We also find that user need, 
intellectual stimulation derived from writing code, and improving 
programming skills are top motivators for project participation. A 
majority of our respondents are skilled and experienced professionals
working in IT-related jobs, with approximately 40 percent being paid to 
participate in the F/OSS project."

25+ years of near total PC OS dominance isn't "short-term", bozo.

You can take your /fucking/ lies and idiocy and cram them into your 
favorite orifice: your drooling piehole.
