OK so let me get this:

1. You chose to give your work away for free.

2. You are complaining that you haven't made money from your work.

Is that a fair interpretation of your argument?

You're kicking a man when he's feeling down. Have some sympathy for a man who loves to do things, teach people about the things he's found, and just hopes that good things will come back to him.
OK fair enough. That wasn't my intention at all but I can see how it might be interpreted that way.

My comment was more a meta comment on the trap a lot of open source developers fall into thinking that the world will fairly reward them for their work.
