Story: What vendors really mean by 'open source'
A play on words
Your analogy of open source is a play on words.
If the end user/company is using an open source product instead of actually paying for a product then there is no other way of saying it, they are using it for free.
Eventually this type of eco-system will put people out of jobs as it can only support so many service based companies.
Nothing in life is for free not even a bottle of beer even though we all know how to make one, we still have to buy the ingredients.
