Economic viability is not the sole aim in developing
Free Software.  There is this goal of *helping thy
neighbor* which is also one of the commandments.  It 
is an incentive and sometimes it pours $$$$ and RsRsRs !
Developing  *free* software  by an  individual/first 
time entrant does not require the heavy clout of 
money/enterprise.  One can start off from Day-1 and
can make money.
