Marketing yourself as someone who fixes bugs in unrelated projects is a noble cause. But the realities of oss are that you will likely get a fixed income job while some large corp will make loads more money off of your fixes and projects. I for one praise monetisation of open source and hope licensing will become more restrictive (i.e. if your company earns more than X$ then then you need to pay a license for it). Great engineering should be paid in freedom from 9 to 5 not just praise and contracts.
