Why not? MP did actually make some money with Arachne in the early
days. He sold a number of commercial licenses and I think he did ok
for awhile. What's wrong with making a living from your work? But the
environment in which it was possible to  have commercial clients for a
graphical DOS browser didn't last long.

MP made a cool thing in Arachne. He made it mostly for his own use
and out of his youthful idealism and energy. Other people found it
useful and interesting. Some still do. I wish there was more interest
in Arachne and a way to attract energy and enthusiasm to the project.

I guess the fact that Arachne is still lurching forward, baby step
by baby step is something of a minor miracle. Kudos to you guys who
are making it happen.
