Of course that having money and doing what you like is a good thing, and that you can have both things, but Im again asking you, if you could only choose between a normal job with free software, and a more profitable job without free software, what would you choose?
I think this has drifted a long way from the point of the thread. The original point was about what constituted success in promoting something like the idea of Free Software. Tying that into vague and inherently subjective views on 'good', 'bad' and 'worthy' is both confusing and unhelpful. I believe sticking to the point is important.
I stand by my original assertion that any unmeasurable advocacy is less useful than measurable advocacy. Whether the advocacy is geared towards profit or not is a mute point. That has nothing whatsoever to do with Free Software as a concept. Free Software is about Freedom for the user.
