    How does someone deserve to be paid for work done? Is that your question?

    Is this some kind of pathetic troll attempt?

    I will not reward that with further attention.

      There is exactly no single reason to make this personal. What I meant is that writing a free piece of software does not necessarily have to be paid work. A variety of popular software tools, including a few web browsers, by the way, is written and maintained in the developers’ free time.

      “Doing stuff” is not the same thing as “doing paid work”.

        You simply cannot have a project the size of firefox without paid employees, why do you think chromium, webkit and gecko are the only three webengines

        What’s making it personal?

        Stop being a sophist, you’ll have more meaningful conversations.
