Personally, I'm not sure I care.  The whole reason I originally got into this 
Linux thing was to stretch my mind while having some fun.  If others find my 
efforts useful for solving their own challenges, that's terrific.  If some 
third party chooses to "make money off my sweat", well, they're welcome to 
it.  Making money was not my primary goal anyway.

Just my $.02

Cheers!
