[Samba] Yet another Samba How-to

[Rubin Bennett]

Now, why would that matter, and how exactly would it be relevant to the
fact that Mike (the OP) is putting the document out there for all to
share?

The attitude that contributing to Free software has to be an unpaid
venture is sophomoric, unrealistic, and  drives me absolutely crazy.
The fact is that we all have to make a living.  Some of us choose to do
what we believe is the right thing, and contribute back to the community
in the forms of code, or documentation, or whatever.  The idea that
someone who writes code or documentation and contributes it (or even
just shares it, retaining copyright as this person appears to have done)
is ridiculous.

Don't bite the hand that feeds you; anyone who uses free software has
been the beneficiary of some freely available code or documentation that
the developer or author was renumerated for on many occasions.
