In the same time it's one of the "business models" of organistations like sourceforge who propose to hire a 'professional' just to patch, improve or fix a particular piece of open source software you need. Generally it's not simple users who'll be paid for that even if they arent directly involve in the target project as contributors they are developpers, beta testers, experts or students but it's not what i consider as 'free developper vs paid User' but " gentle involved volonteers Vs payed4coding bounty hunters" my 2 cents I’m totaly agreed with your point of view Daniel.

Hence I wrote about it. I don't think it is a big deal and I agree that it certainly is part of what open source is.
