Perhaps you can explain why my assumptions are wrong, rather than just 
telling me they are wrong? Clearing from this web site (updated Jan 1st 
2003):

http://www.tungstengraphics.com/our_team.html

Dave Dawes is a part of Tungsten graphics, who get paid real $$$ to work 
on XFree86 drivers by companies such as Intel. If that is not the case, 
his information should be removed from the site. It also list him as a co-
founder, which means in the standard business sense that he owns stock in 
the company. I have never heard of a company founder not have any stock 
in the company, but I guess it is possible (but no-one has said whether 
this assumption is false or not).

Bear in mind that like Alan I have nothing against companies getting paid 
to work on XFree86.
