This guy wanted money. He saw what he did as work that he deserved compensation for. This is the wrong attitude if you ever want to code Free Software. You have to think of yourself more of an artist than a bricklayer.
Ah yes, and artists as we all know don't have to pay rent, and get all their food for free
Words simply fail me
Thought seems to, aswell. If you want to code free software, and you believe that you should be compensated monetarily for your code (bricklayer model), you're doing something wrong.
Have you ever worked on free software? Why did you do so? Was it because you thought you should get paid for it? Or was it because you had a burning need to right the software? The writing of free software comes from within, just as that of an artist.
Sorry, but this is Microsoft propaganda. I won't have it
