10 person months would be 10/12ths of a programmer salary i Silicon Valley, which would probably be around $200k

To my mind, this team deserves a higher salary than typical Silicon Valley programmers for this work.

FWIW Typical SV programmers don't make anything like 200k/yr, so they are already above that range even if there aren't more payouts...

Agree; these people are incredibly skilled.

The conclusion is the same: they are underpaid by a factor of approximately 4+
