Things aren't as bad as all that.  Some 80% of programmers, according
to various unscientific polls, work on bespoke in-house software that
makes no sense for anyone outside their employers, and they wouldn't

See http://open2.mirrors-r-us.net/advocacy/jobs.php (which was once
on the opensource.org site, but if it's still there I can't find it)
for a discussion
