Thanks for saying this.

I'm always surprised that IT people who have paid employment appear to be the only people who advocate that *other* IT people should write code for free, and that we should all, always, seek out free IT code for use.

If it were heartless bean-counters who had that stance, it would make sense. But paid software developers who advocate that software should have no business model to support the industry that employs them? They are an unusual species.
