And this even applies to software developers which in my experience
are a social group with lots of individuality and (thus?) are usually
opposed to any kind of leadership.

Indeed I think the crucial question is: Why do people behave so
differently in jobs and in Free Software? I'd think because of the
non-alienation of those who lead. Or am I wrong with my assumption?
Probably worth another nice study about Free Software developers...
