I think you hit the nail on the head here SurfsUp. We know seem to have all sorts of people hit the headlines and see their balance multiply by x100000 on average but the person who could easily claim himself _the_ free software leader is marginalised by self proclaimed Open Source Initiative leaders.
Obviously I'm refering here to Eric Raymond primarily but it is quite sickening that none of those new-rich is willing to financialy contribute to the Free Software Foundation.
To put my money where my mouth is I'm intending to donate some cash to FSF and I hope that one day all those who are now getting ridiculous amounts of money off of free software will follow suit and begin to take Richard Stallman and his Foundation a little more seriously.
After all if it wasn't for RMS and Linus Torvalds the big mouthed Eric Raymond would have nothing to brag about.

To Bruce Perens:
It sounds that you are a good friend of Richard Stallman and I believe you won't do anything to hurt him or his foundation but how about contributing _actively_? It sounds like from now on you should have more possibility than ever to support FSF.
