Renowned free software journalist Carla Schroder did not like the use of term selfishness and wrote an interesting piece. She took it as an insult of the thousands of free software developers. She wrote, "Let's stop insulting the many thousands of contributors to Linux and FOSS by calling them selfish, because that it is untrue and unfair. How about a bit of well-deserved praise and appreciation instead?"

I think it's totally fine to be selfish, what is important is the motive behind that selfishness. In fact all of us are selfish and no matter how 'selfless' our deeds are they are driven by selfishness.
