Whats GNU with you?

i guess capitalism has finally become a dirty
word. there is no free lunch! someone has to pay
the programmer's salary and it doesn't matter 
whether it is the good old federal government,
local state government with a federal subsidity
or some enterprising stiff with his life savings
on the line. i would hate to think we are heading
for the day when the software pipeline dries up.
there is still a place for commercialism in our 
society. if an author wish to place his work
in the public domain, thats great! but many
have bills to pay and children to care for
therefore employers are **very** important.
ask the steel workers who have been out of
work for years.

but i just had to drop my simplistic views in
the hopper"
