"The concept of open-source software is not new, and with huge, successful projects such as Ubuntu, Android, and other Linux-related OS's and apps, I think we can safely say it is a proven model for creating and maintaining high-quality software.

I'm here to show you why you should seriously consider giving away your time and effort for free, on a regular basis." by Erez Zukerman.
I use several open source applications and I am confident that you too do so. When I was new to this concept, I used to wonder why do these guys (read developers) toil on open source projects and make available to the users mostly for FREE?
