Not kissing anything here, I'd have to say yes. He undertook a tough project with no plan for personal financial gain. It turned out to be something great that could have made him a good bit of money. He kept to his original plan/promise of a free Un*x. And he has kept in the ballgame in keeping it organized.
My 2 cents worth.
