Steve,

Redhat takes the work of the opensource community, adds a token 'home grown' app or 2 and charges $79.95...

And people have the nerve to ask why I don't spend my talents making linux better in some way


There is that aspect: donating your work for free, while someone while someone is waiting for you to finish, and sell your work for profit.

There is another aspect that I resent even more: I have this awful habit of eating daily, feeding my daughter, paying mortgage. If I worked on linux, I would not be able to support these habits.
