That mentoring gig shaped my python-essentials-course - about 4-7 sessions, with them homework exercises - which i have been teaching to various people since then (about ~80ppl so far, in maybe 15 points in time). Only 2-3 times did i manage to sell it and get some money. All others has been either for near-free, or within the company i have been working in - for free as well. Not even kudos from management or whatever. Once even got a warning "not to waste people's time". You know, if someone does something anyway because s/he loves it, why pay for that? "Long term" answer is - because you want that to be available again, but IMO "long term" has fallen out-of-fashion, in software making, or even in general. ah. have fun
