I certainly am not going to argue with that, add email and a database and
the attraction doubles just from the CALs costs. But here the feature
that's doing the attraction is the "free" aspect, not the
availability of source code.

I will admit thought that for a corporation that has their own programmers,
availability of source is an attraction, I just don't believe it is for the
average user though (home machines, small companies with no programmers,
etc).
