I said it from day one of this project, it is about money and somewhere,
somehow, somebody is making money off of the backs of the Linux people.
This is no different than the commercial Linux distribution makers (Redhat,
Turbolinux etc) making money off the programs that Linux programmers give
away.
Donating your time, open sourceing your programs etc is a very admirable
thing to do, when others are doing the same.
However when other people are making money off the fruits of your labor
then you are nothing more than a pasty, a sucker a live one.
