I especially like the last 2 paras. It makes sense.

Why do programmers write open source software?  	 

Friday April 25, 2003 - [ 04:08 PM GMT ]   
Topic - Open Source

- Robin 'Roblimo' Miller -
"What motivates people to participate in the open source community? Is it creativity, or what? There's a lot of work involved, and the remuneration must be minimal. What do open source developers do for a source of income?" These questions were recently asked on a journalists' email list I belong to. Here is an edited version of my reply:

Creativity is an important factor, but it is far from the only reason programmers "participate in the open source community."
