Why do so many think this will 'sully the waters' of open source?

As far as I can see, many OSS developers have philosophical attractions to the concept of free and open software, but why should this stand in the way of them making a buck or two?

Yeah, sure, VA Systems and Paypal are commercial entities, but what's wrong with that? What are all the OSS developers' day jobs? (Or where do their parents work?) I mean, you gotta put food on the table. And hopefully a new dual G5 once you've got the food covered! :)
