Mr. Green's comment was very welcome.
Yes, people should be paid for the good work that they do. That's a significant change in open source philosophy, probably enough to obviate the social movement, but paying attention to an inescapable problem does encourage people to think about it.

Rather than be rhapsodic about people who do for free that which should be earning them money, how would would you respond if you took the statement seriously?
