> The fact that you bring up paid work shows you're happy to accept idea that support for things is only worth what people will pay for it. Consider how that fits with corporatization, and consider how that fits with open source in general.

No, I bring up paid work because somebody needs to do the work. Either do the work yourself, or pay someone to do the work.

If you are not willing to do either than shut up: you get no voice. While you can ask someone else to do something, you don't get to force them.

I'm not willing to develop X11. Thus I'm going to let the people who are doing the work do that work even if I don't agree.
