FOSS has never been about getting paid to write software. It’s not a charity, it’s a contribution to a community. I contribute because I benefit from being part of a system that has contributors in it. The people who expect direct compensation for their contributions do not uphold those values, and are deteriorating the integrity of the FOSS system itself.
