There was a PBS computer show interviewing historically important  
people. Believe it was the first episode interviewing Andy Hertzfeld.  
When the discussion rolled around to open source software Andy said  
someone he knew was making a very good living porting and supporting  
Ghostscript to embedded printers. Possibly one of the principals  
behind ghostscript.
