Open source is expensive for non-experts. It costs time.<p>Imagine a baker offering you free bread, but when you come to claim a loaf- all you get is a invite into the bakery, free instructions from a recording and mockery when your first bread goes up in smoke. That is the open source experience to a normal user.<p>www.youknowthespoelskylinkthatwouldgohere.com
