Why do programmers contribute to open source projects?

What will be an ideal response?

Programming is an intense combination of art and logic, and designing and writing a complicated computer program is exceedingly pleasurable (and addictive). Some people contribute to open source because it gives them the freedom to choose the projects on which they work. They may have a programming day job that is not terribly interesting. Their job pays the bills, but it is not fulfilling. Another reason for contributing to open source is to exhibit one's skill, both for pride as well as to find a job or employment as a consultant. A final reason is to start a business selling services to support an open source product.
