Your definition of extortion, withholding labour in the absence of payment, is the bedrock of our economic system. I have no idea how workers sleep at night.

Anyway, someone who maintains an open source project for free does so for his own satisfaction and is not obliged to do anything. This guy was very reasonable in suggesting the other guy pay if he wants something, given he's being paid and so is his company. Neither did he snap, since he was polite and constructive.
