True. And it would be more likely that the authors would be hoping/planning on making a lot of money from the app in the app store.

There is something very romantic (I'm not sure the significance beyond this) about the story of a rag tag bunch of people at Apple (most of whom were actually on Apple payroll, "stealing" their time) coming together for a passion project, not with get rich dreams. And somehow pulling it off.
