I'm with you on that one.  $200 might be an acceptable bounty to give 
someone a bit of added incentive to contribute something to the community, 
but if the code is closed source and owned by the purchaser, than $200 won't 
even buy a day's worth of real coding.   If you want to own it, you don't 
put out a bounty, you're hiring a programmer, and paying appropriately...
