Here is a proposed rewording (patch attached)

<p>
James E. Bromberger tried to
<a

how much it would cost to develop Debian <q>Wheezy</q> in a proprietary
development model. James analysed the source code in Debian
testing distribution, looking at upstream author's software that Debian
distributes (without
counting patches applied by Debian Developers to upstream software nor
package management scripts) and found that the projected cost of producing
Debian <q>Wheezy</q> in February 2012 would be US$19,070,177,727 (AU$17.7B,
EUR€14.4B, GBP£12.11B).
</p>

Kind regards,
Andrei
