I have always wondered this. Do you think most OSS are just (1) hobbyist developers, (2) commercial developers who are out of work or (3) kids who are in school/too young or inexperienced to get a professional level job doing software development?
It always seemed to me that a lot of Linux die hards and staunch proponents of OSS are mostly young people and then as they grow older and possibly have kids and a lot less time on their hands, they drop their radicalization and many even come down to earth with the philosophy, use whatever you are comfortable with. (speaking from experience with a friend).
