If you are trying to smear Revolution, then consider:

Revolution has given back in a number of ways: supporting the useR
conference, assisting R core with getting R to build on 64-bit Windows
systems, bug fixes, releasing some open source packages, a very fine blog
from which I have learned some quite useful information, and helping R gain
some needed credibility in the media and business worlds.  Not to mention
the stainless steel water bottle they handed out at useR. :-)

All of these cost money and benefit R, even if the dollars themselves don't
flow to the R foundation.
