> Everybody should know that working on free software in general is not healthy. :) There is no way that the fame, name recognition in the community, gratefulness received, CV padding or whatever makes up for your hours of free work. The time investment wont pay off.

How about personal satisfaction? That's definitely worth a lot. Not to mention that I got my first job from free software contributions alone. That's also worth something and did pay off (of course that's not why I contributed to free software).
