Yikes! That sounds downright commie!

Well, almost any sentence can be distorted to mean something unlikely

Good point. But be careful, satisfaction doesn't buy homes or put
food on the table. Somehow I doubt that many Linux programmers are
"overpaid." There's lots of competition in that field.

I have been surprised by the quality of the software that people develope
for free. This surprise has usually been in the positive direction. It
is a weird "business model" but I can see it becoming a major force in the
future. I have often written software for a specific task that could,
chances are, save others a few hours of time. There is no way I could
market such software and make a profit but if I had some way to easily
share it and the others had a fast way to find it, I would share it.
