Yes, I've been made aware of this.  Obviously he doesn't mind.

I wasn't trying to protect Rick; I'm sure he is quite capable.  I was
trying more to point out that Brad will be earning money due to the
combined efforts of many people over the years, all of whom
volunteered their time and/or software for the good of the net.  (Brad
included, of course, for his enormous investment in r.h.f).  I do not
think that Brad is wrong to do what he is doing.  I classify his
actions similarly to the way in which I view most shareware.

If it works out, then great for Brad and all his subscribers.  But
it's too bad he doesn't feel that doing something for the net just for
that reason is good enough.
