depends what you call PRODUCTIVE :-))
he had - when i met him last time - 6 children and a few wifes.
Alpaquas. many animals. THis seems all productive to me.
He worked as a carpenter, a teacher, a programmer, a BOSS, he behaved normal,
wild, crazy, --- i find this is all very productive.

maybe this link meant HELP literally and not in detail.
i doubt that he gave the sources to anybody else. as far as i remember
it, it was me saving the sources regularly . i doubt that he had ever sources
