One of the reasons that I really don't mind that people are selling Linux commercially is exactly because it does make me feel good that people use the product.

The cyberspace 'earnings' I get from Linux come in the format of having a Network of people that know me and trust me, and that I can depend on in return.

Every time I see some piece of medical research saying that caffeine is good for you, I high-five myself. Because I'm going to live forever.

I obviously think that freely available software can not only keep up with the evolution of commercial software, but often exceed what you can do commercially.

I want my office to be quiet. The loudest thing in the room - by far - should be the occasional purring of the cat.

While I may not get any money from Linux, I get a huge personal satisfaction from having written something that people really enjoy using, and that people find to be the best alternative for their needs.

I've been very happy with the commercial Linux CD-ROM vendors linux Red Hat.
