I don't have problem with people working in Mageia improvements and receive payment for it, because this improvement will be free software.
I remembered this blogpost about payment to develop poppler/Okular features - http://tsdgeos.blogspot.com.br/2012/06/free-software-free-to-pay.html

my example the wrong way. Mageia doesn't have to support those repos and problems caused by
such packages. I don't like such repos either and i hope that paid people fix things in our
repos.
