I've got a little dilemma concerning how sourceforge works.

Yesterday I posted the job of maintaining the dilm web site on 
Sourceforge and I got three volunteers, I had to turn one down right 
away because he directly implied that he was seeking some kind of 
monetary compensation for his work and I don't have the funds to hire 
someone for the job. I was on the understanding that in sourceforge 
people were volunteers that didn't make any money from their work, I 
never expected to make any money from my work and I've never heard about 
anyone in sourceforge making money off their work before except when 
they received donations.

Is it normal for people in sourceforge to expect to be payed for their 
work or do just a few people usually have that in mind?
