Well, actually, I believe in rewarding people who work for me based on
their contribution and as far back as 1981 I was co-founder of a
company which placed its entire share capital into a trust so that all
employees, me included, could be rewarded based on their contribution
without interference from shareholders. That company is now one of the
leading suppliers of software in its field and has an enviably high
employee retention rate.

The whole point of this thread is to point out to people working with
Open Source that you are being taken for a ride if you do not receive
commercial recompense for your efforts. If you do not own your home,
why not? If you still have a mortgage, why? If you need to borrow money
for anything, why?

It's more than worked for me. Since some seem to regard car ownership
as some sort of yardstick, Sean has a Porsche. So do I. And a Ferrari.
And a Mercedes SL.
