Judge much? I’m not a maintainer but adjacent to the tech industry (Ed tech) and am hurting for money due to inflation, and I live in a low cost of living area

  First of all: Everyone should have enough money to live a life in dignity. However, this is about public open source projects. You can earn money with those projects. But then you also have to clearly communicate this. Either by asking for donations, sponsorship or offer a support contract. Because the default model of open source is: Here is some code, here is the license, feel free to use it without going through a paywall first.

  There's a great way to work in software without hurting for money: stop giving away labor for free. I can and will judge them, especially the ones who complain about this money specifically because of their choices.
