Re: Buying Free Software: A Bargain?

After takin' a swig o' grog, Roy Schestowitz belched out this bit o' wisdom:

Ironically, Theo de Raadt would probably be doing a bit better if he
adopted the license he so reviles.

   His gripe is that while his organisation is struggling to make ends
   meet on losses of around $20,000 a year, proprietary software
   companies that benefit from his team's work are making money hand
   over fist. The relationship is all take and no give. That's basically
   unfair, says de Raadt.
