I suppose Yaesu and Kenwood should give their radios away too ?
(I would be quite happy if they did - but I wouldn't hold my breath)

Why is it OK for you to charge money for your hard work - but not OK 
for me to charge money for my hard work ? Sounds pretty hypocritical to 
me :)

And some of those proceeds go to host and support your freeware program 
EchoMac:

How many "people who are earning a living elsewhere (or writing non-Ham 
programs)" have stepped forward to help you with EchoMac besides me ?
