I have absolutely no interest in earning money from my free
software endeavors, and I know loads of people who share my
sentiments. Indeed, this seems to be the dominant viewpoint of the
Debian developers, based on our most recent flamewar.
So no, I have not yet bought into the thesis that everyone
wants to make money from free software; though I find the direction
that hypothesis leads to interesting.
