I’m curious why this is naturally so?
There’s no shame in profiting off your work.
- pc86 4y agoNot the GP, but non-profit doesn't mean it doesn't make money, and it doesn't even mean the people that started it can't become fabulously wealthy. It just means you don't horde money, and that profit isn't necessarily the goal. Look at all the non-profits paying their executive half a million a year in salary.
- pksebben 4y agoit's an ethos thing. I think a capitalist mindset (grow grow grow) is antithetical to good open source. once money is the primary motivation, good software that does good things that people actually want can't be the primary motivation.
