"open" for profit

Software contributors for many open source projects are helping companies provide service to stitch all of the open source together. Most contributors do not mind this as it gives them many opportunities. . be part of a community, get recognition, practice, etc.

But folks translating content for Facebook may think differently. Facebook is asking people to translate their site for free, just to help the for-profit social networking site grow. While this is certainly a way to gain users in a country -- those translating are likely to brag that they did it! and drive traffic to the site, will there be resentment from the free labor?
