I have heard that said before but don't believe it and I didn't just
get here.

Assuming for a second that I humour you and allow that they don't care
about the end user unless they pay money but they treat their partners
very well and we make a good living, why would you care? Think about
it.

Does a doctor "prescribe" herbs and vitamins when the drug companies
are pu****ng pills? No, he takes his kickback and percs and writes the
prescription. Society applauds him and in fact demands it. It is
quantifiable and everyone makes money.

When it comes to doctors and pills and drug advocacy (not just
software development) I have been there too and believe me I have the
t-****rt to prove it, and I would be pretty foolish not to learn how to
make money from the masters and apply it back to my own practice as a
consultant, considering just how unprofitable the GNUish business
model seems to be.
