Maintaining a free software project is spending years of your life to 
solve a problem that would have taken several hours or even days without 
the software.

Which is, joke aside, an incredible contribution to the common good.

The time saved is multiplied by the number of users and quickly 
compound. They are saving time without the need to exchange their own 
time.

Free software offers free time, free life extension to many human living 
now and maybe in the future.

Instead of contributing to the economy, free software developers 
contribute to humanity. To the global progress.

Free software is about making our short lifetimes a common good instead 
of an economical product.
