What's more important, making money or sticking with your ideals?
Gee, I don't know. As an American I should say, "Make money make money." Because that is what I was raised (brain washed) to believe was the purpose of my existence.
Having learned a few things in the past 30 years I would have to say that I prefer my ideals over making some cash.
It's not impossible, or wrong, to make money off of OSS. I have been doing that for years. This year alone I have made literally thousands of dollars off of OSS.
I don't understand why so many people are drawn to advertising as a source for revenue. Be a little freaking creative people.
How about this, do want you love to do and you will be the richest person in the room. If it makes you happy to make an OS with advertisements in it, go for it. If you just want to make a kick ass OS, then do that.
We, in the US, have WAAAAAYYYYY too many ads shoved down our throats and are sick and tired of being thought of as nothing more than consumers - at least I am. Let's move on, let's really innovate.
