Lichess is Thibault's source of income, passion project, AND it is open-source.
- fridif 5y agoI suspect that Thibault is making money from it because he is actually deploying a web service, and the value there is coming from the network effects of its multiplayer user base. Even if I deployed his code tonight, there's no guarantee users would switch over to my LeeChess clone :) In the case of Dwarf Fortress it's just "download my exe and please donate if you like it!"
