Interesting perspective on open source
My good friend (from the internets!) Graham has made a post about his experiences with users of open source software.
I can't say my experiences have been any different, but I do think there is a 4th motivational factor. I would have put the following:
4) The developer wants the functionality, but doesn't want to/doesn't have the time to code it all as required.

Hi Chris,
I'm interested to learn more about growl. Are you the right guy to talk to?
I've started a project that will require other applications to submit messages through my framework - somewhat similar to growl. Im trying to figure out #1, if I can use growl and #2, if not, how to get app developers on board!
I'd love to chat with you. Do you have skype? My name is sud0n1m. Im also sud0n1m on AIM if you prefer that.
Thanks!
