Some people are willing to take a principled stance. I have personally turned down significant offers at a cost to myself, including: 1. Building an HTTP proxy that inject ads into open WiFi networks, e.g. hotel lobby WiFi. 2. Forking a browser project for a gambling company that would hide their competitors' ads in return for providing free data to East African gambling addicts. 3. Building a website for a health quack with completely made up medical claims.

None of which seem in the same league as "turning down a little used print protocol."

  It’s not about any one project, it’s knowing that your work will either sell more advertising or be tossed aside arbitrarily harming anyone that dared to use your service.
