Subject: are the best programmers getting rich (as they deserve)

I am just curious as to how much the clever creators of fruit and rybka are
going to make from the engine. How big is the non-comercial chess market? Is it
conceivable that fruit would sell as many as a 5000 copies (yeilding about 250,
000$ gross)

I know people program for the love of it, but it is curious???

I assume the programers of fritz for chessbase just get payed a salary

best
