Using Google as the default search engine in Firefox nets Mozilla somewhere in the area of 70 million dollars a year. Yet they continue to use unpaid, slave labor to do their coding. And they encourage their users to spam message boards, forums, and even Yahoo Answers in order to get free advertising. Quite the con-game they are running!
One has to wonder just where all that "Google-cash" goes?

The people who wrote Linux, are programmers. They love programming. So it becomes their project in life. I know because my first Computer was a TI99/4. I owned a TV service business and wrote the business programs myself using TI Super Basic. I was so enthralled with it I could hardly wait to get home and write some more of the program. My first program was Income, where I entered my service calls for the month. The second program was Expenses, where I put in everything I paid out. The third program tallied the results of the other two and told me what my profit was for the month. At first this was saved on tape, later to a 5 inch floppy disk. 170kb :)
