Who do you think is making money off open source frameworks?

• coliveira 10y ago
  The whole cottage industry of software engineers, authors, and consultants who implement these solutions.

  Consultants that wrote those frameworks in first place and offer their services for help, or go to conferences giving talks about them.

    Yep, in many cases the frameworks arise from patterns someone solved while working for BigCo, then decided that the pattern they used was cool enough to share with and be useful for others. Open source is hugely thankless and tons of work, but it can be very rewarding in ways you can't buy, including meeting with interesting / awesome people.
