What's depressing about that? If people feel they want to voluntarily contribute, how is that not a win-win?

I think he's just bringing up the very real point that we're a for profit company, but accept free work from highly skilled developers. We are almost hyper aware of the need to balance the community and company profitability. The last thing we want is for people to feel exploited, and we think that we can be transparent enough to make that work. But to ignore the risk entirely would be hubris. :)
