By contributing I am increasing am increasing the (potential) profits of 
the authors, while at the same time the author prevents any profits to me.  
I'm not asking for equal profits, or even profits proportional to my 
contributions. Just the opportunity for it.

Oh, I'll still _use_ the program, and I might even contribute a bug fix if it 
annoys *me* enough. But I won't consider helping out on the project if I'm 
treated as second class.
