    Not for 10 or 15 bucks it doesn't. A few thousand, maybe.

    Shouldn't the real bounty be for the heads of those that gave us a 75% finished product in the first place?

    Skill != Morality

    Just because some righteous programmer jumps on the open source bandwagon doesn't mean he's any good.
    Being the greedy bastard that I am, I prefer to use my skills for evil rather than good. That $2500 bounty ain't worth my time.

    Of course, I'll sell you one for $100 and pocket the $31 if it makes you feel better.
