Well put. > ... willing to pay for convenient access ... Convenience as a monetization idea should be considered by more open-source devs: binaries compiled for various OS version, optional cloud compute/storage (e.g. Zotero), prioritized assistance (e.g. Tailscale), etc. > [...] people are used of getting things for free. Changing that social contract is going to be difficult. Society has to gotten used to paying for people's time & expertise in many conventional areas (e.g. healthcare, education, legal advice, food) but still aren't used to paying for open-source work they consume.
