This happens a lot already. Probably the best program code was written without compensation. There’s also that infamous OS that started as a hobby project and reportedly runs 70% of public servers on the Internet these days. People who contribute to OSS have jobs to support themselves, but they also program outside of work, they enjoy doing it and they give away the results of their work for free. It’s puzzling but it turns out above certain point people don’t really care about making more and more money and start being motivated by purpose and desire to do something good. Unlike music, there’re no money-hungry middlemen between those who enjoy writing software and those who want to run it.
