I like open source software. The idea is awesome, but at the same time it is an utopia. All the software in this video of course has the commercial, non-free versions of them, and they are almost always a lot, lot better.
OpenOffice vs MS Office, Gimp vs Photoshop, Audacity vs Goldwave. All cost money but are so, so much better pieces of software that considering many of us use those software for thousands and thousands of hours, what they ask for them is well worth it in my humble opinion.

I understand "Open Source" as much as the next guy. I have myself contributed to the open source community. You can't deny that Ubuntu and other Linux OS's are free. Sure, you can give people a choice to "donate", and that would still be Open Source. But when you force people to pay, then that violates the law of Open Source. Either way, I am not arguing against Open Source, you seem to have the wrong idea. I am arguing for the fact that Software is no less hardwork then hardware.

are open source softwares free for commercial use as well, i.e if i use them for my company's computers?

Open source software is the craziest idea of this century. So imagine that AMD were giving out there Phenom 2 chips for free. Software engineering is hardly a less challenging discipline than Computer, Electrical and Electronics engineering, and to think only because this hard work can be stored and transmitted at will it deserves some kind of extra special giveaway treatment for some joyous pride is insane.

These clips were cut scenes from Shuttleworth show (now defunct) + I'm a rookie in movie editing.
