Everything should be free?

One of the issues with Open source projects:

  • You have to host it yourself
  • You have to do patches
  • You have the responsibility if something goes wrong.

But I think it all comes down to what your time is worth :)

If I can pay 3$/ month for a todo list app I would happily do that than spend hours trying to set it up and manage it myself :)

I'm grateful to be tech literate and a proficient developer. Using open source software is quite fast and efficient in my case :-)
