I read well don't worry, I say that because companies start to instrumentalize open source. so after years some developers (for google summer source code for ex) realise that they spent all their lifetime for a big company for free... that is why I called Open Fools....

I speak for myself (as an individual) here :
I disagree with your characterization. Open source is engineers collaborating informally on a shared piece of basic infrastructure code so as to amortize engineering cost, testing cost and beta testing. As an open source developer, you give away something to get a lot in return so you can build on the sum total of collaborative effort.
Open source is also an excellent way for students to establish a track record. Yes it is free labor but try getting a job these days as a fresh graduate with no experience and you will see what I am talking about.
