As you'll know if you read my earlier posts, I use Barney Boomslang's Mac-port of the Nicholaz patch. (You may know that I also use the Release Candidates, at least when they're vaguely stable.) Barney was moved to comment on why he makes the effort to write open source material - and he has a long history of it. You might not agree with him: you might think he's stupid and giving his work away for free; you might think he's some kind of wicked communist; you might think he's a hero.Personally, money isn't the be-all-and-end-all of my life. You can read some of my thoughts about the American drive for money and the English class system from an online class if you want. Obviously for open source coders money isn't the be-all-and-end-all either. I'd just like, again, to say a big THANK YOU to all the open source bug fixers for their work and efforts. Some of us, I'd like to think almost all of us, appreciate what you do. The world is a better place for it.
With thanks to
