So what. Torvalds get royalties from distributors like Red Hat and from
those who embed Linux in their products. The Grateful Dead were the
highest-paid touring band in the US for many years, so their attitude to
copyright was an adjunct to their primary source of income.

So please answer my question. You don't work for nothing; why should
the engineers at MQA?
