This is cool, but I would assume he's violating any number of patents in order for it to work properly. (perhaps that's why it's closed source?)

I like the model Fabrice uses. He picks really meaty, technical projects which most individuals would not attempt alone, if they even think the project is possible. And he comes up with the goods. It would be interesting to know if this model works... umm financially. Very tempting to give it a try if it does.
The reason the average HN-goer never does anything of note is precisely because of being driven by this "how can I monetize this" mentality alone.
Fabrice Bellard is a genius. Seriously, this guy may just be one of the, if not the best software developers around. The very fact Bellard seems to like tackling heavily technical challenges and sharing his findings is why he's the great developer he is. This is impressive.
