It seems he has an obsession with people recommending resources that they originated or are maintaining, even if these resources are 100% open source/open content and are not likely to yield substantial monetary benefits. So I suggest that both you and I just ignore those exits by Rob about these things from now on. Like the old Internet adage go: “Those who can - do. Those who can’t - complain.”.
