    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.
