Besides if we really wanted to make money, there's not much revenue in
charging for commits to ON at the current contribution rate - much better
to charge per post to the mailing lists / web forums.
Of course, we'd offer free posting credits to those who did contribute code,
since such contributions require some discussion for review and such - so
at this point, Roland & Olga would have a decent balance of free posts built
up for them to use, but certain other people would be deeply in debt to Oracle.
Fortunately, they keep people like me far away from the business folks, so
we don't try to sell insane ideas like this to them... 8-)
