How is it selfish to want to be paid for your work? In our capitalist society, you pay for rent, groceries and transportation. Until all of this is free, people need to have income.
Yes, there is open source, but that is usually volunteer time donated by some people. Most of them have "day jobs" as well to pay the bill.
I do volunteer with a local non-profit group, but I also run my own business to pay the bills.
