ShutUp Software

I like this phrase "expose people to the echoes of their own reflexions". I think this is the ultimate consequence of using Shut-up software. (By the way, it would be a good idea to buy "shutupsoftware.com" as well as "Shut-up Software Inc" after this discussion...maybe someone is gonna get rich?)
There is something I don't quite understand. Those guys are working for free? Why?
I have the feeling that is bad for the community as a whole. It kinda sends the wrong message to big-buck companies: "you want linux development? just get a bunch of utopists to do it for you for free!"
Knowing how managers think (i.e. in terms of schedules, MS Project, and resources), I don't think this is a good message to them: those guys are good in pushing the limits of the system to their advantage...
You gotta be careful when you say that a spanish or portuguese word "might" come from arabic: especially the Spaniards do not appreciate it that much! (I speak from personal experience but I might be wrong in generalizing though;). Sorry if I heart "Fulan" (=someone)
As for the word "fulano", there is very little doubt that it comes from arabic...
However, I am pretty sure it has nothing to do with Foo...

Zebulon.
I am sick of news that are neither informative, nor useful.
Could you please filter those stories more efficiently?
