Re: Opensource
I wonder that too.... here r some that i can list off the top of my head...
-The owner gets a warm recognition and respect by the community
-Giving out free encourages more use of your software --- your name would hold a lot more value --- Spybot creator Patrick Kolla and HijackThis creator Merijn Bellekom r prime examples. ---- You may be able to write ur own ticket on ur next job
-You care about the society in general and your blood boils when you see people using "buggy M$ products" so you spend a year in solitude and do something for humanity.
-You are trying to get into a job or some government project ... n u realize that a sourceforge project is the place to start...
