Lady Godiva OSS
Open Source software is like riding naked to try and benefit a part of the world - everybody loves it, talks about it, and mentions you in the press. But the end is never going to be much benefit to you ... eventually the software retires and after a while nobody knows where it's buried. This doesn't mean that it's not good (and fun sometimes too) - it is normally a very good thing to do but it's always going to benefit the rest of the world far more than anyone originally doing the work.
