Do you complain over those "Suggested Donation Bins" at the museum? Would you complain if toll booths were optional? Of course neither analogy is perfect, but you get my point. Museums and roads cost money.
You sound just like Craig Mundie! Software costs money too.
Amazing how a site read by programmers puts out the insistent message that we should work for free -- and we believe it! Normative behavior reinforcement, I guess.
But now it's that we should pay a company out of honor, not commerce. Still can't admit that capitalism thing.
