gollark: Constantly.
gollark: It might end up causing horrible inflation if you just arbitrarily summon money.
gollark: This works for me, but it doesn't always. Someone making ImageMagick may have to do boring unfun stuff to keep it usable, and may not be paid.
gollark: Well, in my case, I make random stuff which is "useful" to me and release it upon an unsuspecting world in case someone wants it.
gollark: That still doesn't provide much of an incentive to make intellectual property versus just not doing that, but it would help I guess.
