A bit OT; but yes I agree in principle. There's a whole philosophy of foss responsibility which basically boils down to: If you're doing work for other people, then you SHOULD be paid. if you're doing work for yourself (training, fun, volunteering for the good of humanity etc) then you've got more reason to do stuff for free, although I think unpaid volunteers can find themselves in a responsibility trap that creates a very real labour rights issue. Although some disagree that labour issues are possible in Free and Open Source, I say there are many forces both social and political that keep people working against their own labour interests. Remember kids; if a company asks you to fix their problems without paying you. Just say no.
