Ken Starks (AKA hellius) has become quite popular and he was recently hitting
some because of cancer problems. He is a relatively poor person (willfully)
who dedicated his life to free software,and he sough donations for his
health, reaching the OSS community. I enjoyed reading some of his old essays
where he described how he converted entire Windows clusters (troubled due to
viruses) into PCLinuxOS, which looks similar to Windows XP. The users's
wouldn't notice... it was all volunteer work.
Your question is probably rhetorical in a sense.
Best wishes,
Roy
