What you're saying doesn't make sense. Writing proprietary software that
makes you money requires a huge amount of calculated and controlled effort.
It isn't a desperate last resort to feed your poor starving family. The last
resort to feeding your poor starving family is more likely to be theft.
But even that is a highly unlikely scenario. What happens in reality is they
get a job. You know, they go to a place like Wal-mart, McDonald's, or
whatever else is in their town, and they hand in a job application.
Writing proprietary software is never used for the purpose of preventing your
family from starving. Proprietary software development is lucrative, and
something very few people do.
