Honest to gods, this conversation happened today, and it may have cost me a job opportunity. The customer was super impressed with my menu design and animation, and wanted to know who we got it from. When I said I did it, their face lit up! Too bad as soon as i said GIMP, they weren't interested anymore. Has anyone else experienced this? What do you say in similar situations?

The hacker culture, from which the modern OSS community stems (‘hacker’ in the original programming meaning), is specifically rather anti-corporate and opposed to seeing software as a product to sell, instead of DIY tools shared between enthusiasts.
