Thanks Tim, your mail represents my feelings very well.

I would like to add a small clause for myself here. I do work for a corporate
but my current involvement with update sending bug reports, patched and
sharing ideas are tree things that the GPL doesn't demand. Those are things
 I do for "free".At this point it doesn't matter if my "corporate" is a good or
 bad citizen. The point is that I am "somewhat" active in the community and
even if you would never see any system deployed you already a "win" something
by being open yourself.

So am i a free-rider or not? nobody knows
