If you are trying to smear Revolution, then consider: Revolution has given back in a number of ways: supporting the useR conference, assisting R core with getting R to build on 64-bit Windows systems, bug fixes, releasing some open source packages, a very fine blog from which I have learned some quite useful information, and helping R gain some needed credibility in the media and business worlds. Not to mention the stainless steel water bottle they handed out at useR. :-) All of these cost money and benefit R, even if the dollars themselves don't flow to the R foundation.
