From a guy on /., of all places.

It’s not about communist hippies in Birkenstocks saying everything should be free.   Every web application I build needs a database, an application server and a web server.   On top of that it needs libraries that do a lot of things common to other projects.   It makes no sense for us to take on the burden of developing these from scratch.   It is in our best interest to collaborate with others to build stable, portable solutions that can be deployed en mass without exorbitant licensing fees.
