Perhaps there is some hypocrisy to an, "I use Open Source software but I won't write Open Source software," attitude, but is it really any different from the hypocrisy of a Free Software zealot who expects all programmers to give away their work for free and support their families by waiting tables, driving taxis or laying brick?
Yes, it is different. The waiters/cabbies/masons of the example aren't expecting to get a free ride for the same services from others. Now, if the waiter of the example never tipped when he ate at other restaurants, that would be hypocrisy.
