Really honestly shocked that I got down-voted on this. Is it really not cool to wish that developers would get compensated for their time if their work is valuable? I understand that the developer chose the license and distribution model, but if they hadn't chosen this model, then the community would have settled on whatever the best solution was that was permissive enough that they didn't have to pay for it. Passion projects in OS are a race to the bottom compensation-wise, due to dynamics outside of the control of the developers building them.
