First of all, it's not the property of the cultists, it's everybodys
property.  Second of all, you astonishingly make the assumption that the
only ones contributing are those that drink the GNU kool aid and go to

and others; they too are not part and parcel to the GNU zealots, but
have been victimized by it to a large degree.
