Name one. I have yet to hear of a single author get compensated after Blizz ripped off their addon an added it as a "new feature" (Carb/QH, tradeskill addons, etc). Authors are the free labor to make the game "better" and when they do something that Blizz likes they just pat 'em on the head, say "good job" and release it later "as their own".

"Compensation". That actually made me laugh.
