I see still often happened misunderstand to open source. Following I embrace some explanations conceptors and activator free software and open source, be like Eric S Raymond, Richard M Stallman, etc.
One of the special purpose maker software in his masterpiece license as free software or open source is to get the friend colaboration so that yield software the goodness quickly and have cheap expense, some good Product for example : Apache, MySQL, PHP, Java, Postfix, etc.
Thus, it's not to make software free of charge.
Free of charge in understanding not necessarily the expense of to get the permit to using-learning-developing and releasing that only one of many positive effects of the model open source.
Other purpose:
. - amenity of update, patch, and other repair, caused by source.
. - cost-saving, time, and manpower in world, very darling if each;every pemrogram have to start from zero, if other have made it. Better of time used to develop furthermore or do something else.
. - etc.
Making expense software open source not cheap, more than anything else free of charge, be like seen from result survey MERIT yg defray Uni Eropa:
. - Development expense OpenOffice: 482 jt euro, [about/around] 5 trillion Rp.
. - Kernel ( operating system heart) Linux: 882 jt euro, ~ 10 trillions rupiahs
