Problem with publishing ... is the truly silly amount you get ... 20% ...
One of many reasons why I have never published a book!

Right. Open-source goes even further - serving the interests of publishers, promoters, and those who manage the public repository - it puts them in a position to provide services comparable to Red Hat & Novell. Open-source is widely reaching in part because the majority of people are led to believe that they get something for nothing. Individual original authors (contributors to the repository) get the shaft. Does anyone believe in the traditional approach to growing a business on a fair and trustworthy quid pro quo basis? Hmmm ... must be feeling unpleasant tonight.
