is it possable to mget any money if i write a version of vi?

[g liu]

i looked around for a free version of vi, and stevie, which is
a good clone, is the bese i found. if i wrote a real clone
of ex/vi, would i beable to get any money for it?
i dont want to spend 100 hours of my life writing a vi editor
for its own sake: it would save much less than 100 hours of making
a junk editor work.
gwoho liu.
