Yes of course you can get paid to...For example, we build an open source Android app called Umbrella, which is used to help travellers, journalists and activists manage their digital and physical security on the move (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.secfirst.umbrella https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.secfirst.u...).
