Embrace the market place. Without it semiconductors and mailing lists 
wouldn't exist, and we'd all be out in the woods gathering berries and 
hitting each other over the heads with rocks. Free software is good, but 
having food and shelter is better. Even if the source code being made 
available is a requirement (GPL and kindred), having a way to pay for an 
application or donate to its developer should be strongly considered. 
Benoît could be the new Gabe Newell, taking 10% off the top to ensure 
the continued development of GAMBAS and pay the repository bandwidth bills.
