“Anyway, there’s a happy ending here: I don’t like that legal agreement either. There’s no click through license on other open source projects when I download them. Why should NetBeans have to have one? Well, we get our wish. The click through license on the download page will be deleted.”

How many towns/cities/counties are in the United States?
And if each of the above had, atleast;
1 full-time paid open source programmer..
1 full-time Q/A, know it all, goto guy/girl, to learn how things function, and how to improve
X sysadmins, depending upon need.
And all of them worked together/distributed, to create fully functional environments that replace their current crappy proprietary software, that all our cities/towns/counties use, by implementing open source projects, directions for improvement upon these projects, and giving back their work for the good of the project/people.
I’m sure most of the small places just need a CMS website, email, and some data driven forms/workflow.
I think you’d have an awesome situation.
I hope Los Angeles can follow through with their plan to use open source software for their needs, and I hope they employ programmers, and others who aren’t just there for a paycheck, but are there, because they realize open source is good for the soul.
