The people like you, who call OSS a "religion" and say it will put them out of jobs, are the folks scaring off programmers. It also shows how you haven't looked into the way OSS works. Why is MySQL so successful? They are open source, but by licensing, have huge income, not to mention that from service, which keeps even more employed. Saying OSS kills jobs is like saying the printing press killed jobs by eliminating scribes, when in fact it's a paradigm shift--progress ensues and creates even more jobs. Reinventing the wheel on every programming project is not the way to go, and writing an open subset of other open software just further advances collective knowledge. Keeping secrets hinders progress, because every generation starts over without utilizing what came before.
