    I think it's a bit unrealistic
    Looking on the source forge downloads, MP started in 2007, so lets round it up to 10 years.
    This would mean the 65 developpers would have worked full time since then on the project to get to the 650 Person-years.

    You forget to take into account the hours the larger community is spending watching TV and videos for the sole purpose of testing and validating our software :)

    SF must have removed the earlier downloads because I've been a member since the beginning of 2005 and it was pretty well established when I arrived.

    Well, even if MP is around for 15 years, still not realistic.
    If it were so easy to calculate the value of Software, and even more how much development of future sw will costs, I would have twice as time to actually write new Code :rolleyes:
