Well i have to admit that the only way i can use code, is the way you describe here, and i am glad there are ppl who freely give it to be used by everybody who wants to use it!
Not even that. A hundred million (internet) years ago the Apple ][ came out with a spreadsheet program, and people who would never dream of programming the mainframe and database - the only other serious computers around - were doing fantastic things with that simple spreadsheet, something crippled compared to OOCalc. I'm sure there are plenty of sales-critters who are using tools on the 'Web and head-hunters using tools on LinkedIn who are not programmers, never thing of themselves as programmers, either, but are still Getting Things Done in ways that would have required them to be a programmer a quarter, half a century (real time) ago. All with stuff that is most definitely not Open Source.
Now that is the exact reason i use and prefer open source above it's closed brother.
