Sorry, but I know several DD's which earn more then US$ 6000 per month and why and why should they work more on Debian as needed? I myself earn more too but I am NOT a DD or DM since I am currently working over 16 hours a day and 7 days a week... I have some packages which I have uploaded to <http://mentors.debian.net/> bit since I have no spare time, they maust wait for an update. I have to pay an Enterprise Creation Credit of over 500.000 Euro where 260.000 are left. I think, from my own experience, that I am not alone. IF Debian pay a couple of Developers (even 12 month a year) I would accept it... Since Fulltime-DD's can get stuff running! > Something akin to Gresham's Law applies here: money drives anything good > out. And from what should DD's live?
