The full-time developers need to be paid but the ones that make their money doing other work and do part-time development are another story. That's how linux got where it is today. The payment the linux developers got and get is they often learn more about programming doing their linux development than they manage to do in the careers where they make their money. A loss for employers but our gain. Aside from that, the linux developers get to work on the best supported operating systems on the planet. Microsoft can't match that level of support. -- Jude <jdashiel at panix dot com> "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo. Please use in that order."
