Software people don't get paid a royalty because our services are owned
by our employers. Just like members of a chorus who get
a salary, or members of a band who also get a salary, we
get a salary. HOWEVER, as has been documented quite often,
the salaries differ by maybe as much as 100% whereas the
productivity may differ by a few thousand percent.

Anyone know of implemented resolutions of this apparent
socialism?
