I can't fathom how these things are all free. I owe a good part of my career to the developers.
I try developing something that's 1/50th the scale as something like phpMyAdmin, and it's a PITA. How do the Open Source folks do it?

1) there is more than one developer
2) Make a donation for the software that you use. 3) I'm not positive that MySQL is free if you're using it for a business/commercial application. Check the license.
