I'll rephrase as well ...

I don't know for sure, but I suspect that if everyone who wanted to
have a job in open source software worked as hard as I did (banging on
doors, making phone calls, sending out mail, etc ...) to try to get
more businesses interested in open source, that I would have far more
business than I could ever do (and thus enough to share).

The biggest problem I have selling open source software to people is
that they've never heard of it before!
