I like you, man. You remind me that free software is created by an ethical community.

I volunteer at a local homeless outreach. Our leader/manager, a stay-at-home mom, was selected by Statistics Canada to have her and her family's habits heavily scrutinized for six months. She described how one day, on the phone with a Statistics Canada worker, she was asked "Do you work?" "Yes." "How many hours a week?" And so on until finally she was asked "Who is your employer?", and she finally had to confess that it was all volunteer work. The statistician had to start the survey over. She said to me "Why must we gain money from work for it to be valuable?"
