>>And how much money has Jimmy Wales ever donated towards my work? None at all, as far as I’m aware.

Unless you put a value to the information you've gotten from Wikipedia. Not being aware of it as value says something about how you'd like what you've created to be valued. Want your consumers to 'simply look away'?

Personally, I'm OK with giving my IP away - and you might be, too, but keeping a high-traffic website like Wikipedia running and connected takes money. How do you feel about paying for people to take your IP?

I'm retired, on a limited income - but I'm glad to pay for stuff I've been using. Part of that as a "thank you" and part as encouragement to keep doing what they're doing.

If I wasn't willing, I'd hesitate to brag about it.
