Vladimir is only likely to earn money from his code by either licencing it to
commerical companies like Wolfram Reserach or acting as a consultant to
them. If he acted in a professional manner, he might well be able to do
that. But it is hard to believe that given the way he presents bugs, Vladimir
will ever find such companies which to work with him.

Even a competitor such as Mathworks is unlikly to wish to work with someone
who finds bugs in their competitors products, but reports them in the way he
does.

Yes, I agree.


Finally, I must say that I find it rather surprising that people choose to
work for Maple / Mathematica without getting paid.

Lots of people do things for a hobby that others get paid for.

Yes, of course, but I have the feeling that the situation here is slightly
different than in other "hobby-areas". I can only guess: are you thinking of
people programming for, say Linux, or are you thinking in more general terms?
