Are you saying all the Debian developers are unemployed? Or are you misunderstanding the previous comment.

Okay, I'm unemployed :-( but people can't work for nothing at all. They'd starve. And I strongly suspect that, even if the Debian developers aren't paid to write for Debian (and many probably are), they ARE paid to develop software.

Cheers,
Wol

There's a difference between being paid by a sustainable business model that respects the customer and one that monetizes every click and key-press, however.
