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

Well, we have such repos already today and you can't stop something like that. But you saw
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.
