MODERATORS
They're profiting from FOSS, nobody is trying to prevent them from doing so, but they refuse to spend small amounts of money helping out part-time coders ... and you know why. That money is going to the mid-level managers themselves.

Middle managers don't get to pocket any of the unspent budget. That's crazy talk.
