This is ridiculous.

Tug was very useful in the days when to get TeX you had
to do al sorts of weird things with tapes and system accounts.
Now when everyone has their own desktop computer it is
becoming a repository for all sorts of more theoretical
TeX knowledge. All of this would not have been possible
if there wasn't any money coming on.
