Depends on how popular your project is.
1. Evan you (creator of vuejs) makes kind of a salary via patreon [1].
2. Taylor otwell (creator of laravel) has created many useful projects like spark and forge that generate amazing revenue.
3. Creator of sidekiq (mike) has created a million dollar business by creating premium upsells [2]
4. And finally of course there are free and hosted versions of the software like WordPress that are in a league of their own (also recently noticed a site called Browserless which has done quite well with this model)
