Open Source developers, let us face it, work with the aim of promoting 
themselves. if not financially, then socially. I'd be foolish to suggest that 
people work towards achieving something without a motive. Take Matt, for 
example. He has a decent job in CNET owing to his dedication to voluntary 
projects and he has become like a brother to many WP users.

Many readers of Thoughts from Eric, I assume, are self-employed (or partially 
independent) and equate their job to a hobby. The majority of people out 
there work in code or design 'sweatshops' and their <em>only</em> reward is 
financial. So who are we to say that Alex King or Matt Mullenweg do not 
deserve the links and the PageRank that follows?
