I am already hired at a university. When I don't work on research I
work for Sage, for free. Meanwhile, Williams sells the product of this
collective work, for cash.

That's all I am saying.

And of course, because I don't like seeing people getting paid for
other people's work, I don't feel any urge to improve his customer
base for free.

It has very practical implications: this morning I was about to
rewrite/improve our tutorial on function plotting, because it was
mentionned several times as something which bothers novices.

I chose not to, because I can't bear to do this work knowing that he
will benefit from it. For indeed, what would the opposite mean? That
he is taking Sage as a hostage, and that I am forced to work for him
because I want to work for Sage. And no, I won't do that.
