For those who missed it, a recent issue of PC WEEK described a scene in which
on Dec 2, a Hare Krishna approached Philippe at an airport, asking donations
for one of the Krishnas' hot-meals programs;  Kahn handed him a $100 bill
and said there nine more like it if the Krishnas would personally deliver a
message to Bill Gates at Microsoft: that Philippe Kahn had donated $1000 to
their hot-meals program for the benefit of members of his (Gates') legal
staff whom Kahn assumed would shortly need such assistance.  That, in my
estimation, is the way the rich and powerful are SUPPOSED to behave in
this life.  I can't think of anybody else off-hand whom I'd want to buy
a compiler from.
