Noel, you (and Microsoft shill group ACT) are the only ones who see anything newsworthy about this information. Users of FOSS don't need to rely on the original developer or any other specific individuals for troubleshooting - they can hire whomever they choose to troubleshoot open code. Users of proprietary software must depend on the continued existence of the original developer to receive technical support. This is common knowledge.

Thanks for the clarification John.

I notice you fail to comment on the fact that an estimated half of FOSS developers work at traditional firms:)

Like I said, that's old news. In fact, it has probably been true for decades. So what?

I notice you fail to comment on the reliability of statements from a group that's well known as a Microsoft shill :)

John, ACT did not do the study. A FOSS group did.
