Paragraph largely made redundant by the free riders section:
The fact that thousands of other people are able to make use of the software having put in no effort themselves and haven't paid any money simply isn't an issue - after all it effectively costs nothing to replicate the software and the open-source developers are only too happy that it is proving useful to a wider audience. It is truly maximizing it's utility.
Other software to list:
- Open source radio: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/6241923.stm
