I like how it estimates the maxima code base took 168 man years to
develop and cost $9.2 million to develop (at 55k/year).
Compare with Firefox, from the same site, which is only 15 man-years and
$840K. :-) By MySQL is 304 man-years and $16.7 million. Or openoffice
at 2599 man-years, $142 million!
Neat. :-)
