Be serious.

  I am serious. And Red Hat had $3.4 billion in revenue the year it was acquired. There are plenty of people getting paid to write open source software. The top contributors to open source projects are frequently for-profit companies. Open source != hobbyist. There’s nothing about paid software development that requires source code to be kept private.

    Their customers aren’t paying for the software.

      They do make a lot of money from value add services, but in some cases, yes they absolutely are paying for software. This is fairly common when people want features/updates that don’t yet exist.

        That’s paying for the development of the software.
