Actually, he's employed, as are many famous Linux developers (by companies close to Linux, such as Red Hat, qt, Suse, IBM etc). The big fish don't have to work their magic after 4 pm, unpaid, unshaved, feeding on bread and water. Linux expertise pays off and making open source software can put food onto the table. Not in the MOS corner, though, which is why you should be a bit nicer.
