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. -- Mark Norton ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Norton's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4722 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28873 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
