Not really. This is not about money but about skill. Hence I said this is not 100% accurate and added a proper explanation.

Open source is not about money. The philosophy and culture around it is centered around a set of values. It's free as in freedom.

The same skills used to develop free software can be used to earn a lot of money making corporate software. The same is true for other professions: they can work for an employer, be self-employed, or volunteer their time. The analogy fits, and we all need to earn money to survive.

Isn't a lot of the freedom the ability to fork and make your own version if you don't think the original version fits your needs?
