Comment 30 for bug 424648

Developers don't need to be paid. They will work for free because programming is fun. Haven't you read the GNU Manifesto?

"In the long run, making programs free is a step toward the postscarcity world, where nobody will have to work very hard just to make a living. People will be free to devote themselves to activities that are fun, such as programming, after spending the necessary ten hours a week on required tasks such as legislation, family counseling, robot repair and asteroid prospecting. There will be no need to be able to make a living from programming." http://www.gnu.org/gnu/manifesto.html
