Not kissing anything here, I'd have to say yes. He undertook
a tough project with no plan for personal financial gain. It
turned out to be something great that could have made him a good
bit of money. He kept to his original plan/promise of a free
Un*x. And he has kept in the ballgame in keeping it organized.

My 2 cents worth.
