> OpenBSD is a great example of the value of competition, and the necessity to maintain market rules that encourage it.

The market doesn't work here. The OpenBSD people aren't responding to market incentives; they aren't earning much (AFAICT). They appear to be responding to internal incentives. The market's incentive for talented developers is to work on something else and get paid more.

That is, they appear to be doing this despite the marketplace, not because of it.
