Should every action cost money? Nobody's that rich to pay for every little breath, drink, bite, shelter, etc. I'm not sure I agree with some that capitalism is evil, but unrestrained it can go haywire! (And communism is flat-out bad.)

Maybe the "bounty" system (a la some other third-party OSes) is what needs to be done a lot more, even for DOS: raise enough, hire somebody, etc. The problem is that most coders charge ridiculous amounts! And it would have to be the difficult and/or heavily-desired stuff, not the easy / useless stuff (although even simple bugfixes are greatly appreciated). But how do you give some to one person without making someone else jealous (or infuriating someone who already gave away their work for free)??
