i have a question that i haven't found in the google summer of code ginourmous FAQ, do you need a team to apply? can't you just apply if you're a student (all by yourself) and want to work in a project? the faq says you have to propose an idea, what if you just want to follow others idea and work with theirs and with them.

it makes some sense it means that as the developers increase the passion decreases!hahahhah

Free as in freedom - When you recieve the software you are entitled to , study, modify and redistribute the program without restriction. You may still pay for the original copy (although a friend who has payed could give it to you without charge).
Free as in beer - You can obtain the software without charge. It does not imply any of the freedoms listed above although many free-as-in-freedom applications are also free as in beer.

I was about to write that as well.
It's not that the more developers you have working on a project, the more passion until it starts to get too big as the graph implies.
Otherwise GSOC would be rubbish because you are only one developer and hence have no passion!

@ElChe Why it has EVERYBODY to complain? he just used the tool he wanted.

@isra017 good point.

openoffice?!

no, the passion depend on the number of developper, so he's good.
The desciption on the graphs make no sense, "passion" should be on the x-axis and "# developers" on y-axis otherwise it doesn't make any sense.

You do realize that it is a global program, right? It is not US-specific:
"Since its inception in 2005, the program has brought together nearly 2500 successful student participants and 2500 mentors from 98 countries worldwide, all for the love of code."
