Being a 70's kid, the current state of open source feels very similar to the 70's freedom movements, where a large majority ended up working in offices Wall Street style during the 80's.

Maybe there is a lesson there regarding human behaviour, and attitudes regarding the need of income in capitalist societies.

FOSS used to be about developers scratching an itch but now it's about developers who are itching to get scratch, hohoho.

(For non-English speakers, "scratch" was formerly popular slang for money in the US.)

To keep with my analogy, if you aren't on a community farm to live up with the ideals and show it to the man, eventually you will need to scratch to get something from the supermarket.
