Great people, all over our planet, usually do a bit more than they are paid for. The resulting benefit for others is incalculable. Just think of what the Centos founders did, unpaid, and their hardworking successes achieved - never an eye on the clock and never restricting their efforts to make something not just work, but work well. -- Regards, Paul.

Also, many free software developers are actually paid for their software development work. Maybe not as much as one might be paid for commercial software. Great example is postfix (free open source software), architectured, written and developed under the hood of IBM (thank you, great guys!) by brilliant person Vietse Venema (thank you, Vietse!!).
