[AccessD] OT: open source

Yea, but the thing is, open source doesn't HAVE to be free, as in no cost,
but free as in source code availability.

I think that is part that is the hard part to understand, or at least grasp.

Free doesn't necissicarily mean no cost.

=============Perhaps I do make too much of it -- you could be right. It's
hard to apply it to my own work -- it doesn't really relate. 

I'll repeat myself -- sometimes that helps. :) I pay the hair guy $75 to
color my gray hair. I pay it because he's good -- hair looks natural and
healthy. He doesn't sell me the coloring and give me instructions so I can
do it myself. Now, I realize that doesn't really relate in the same way, but
it's the best I can come up with. :)
