"People have various answers for open source business models. E.g. "consulting" or the vague “support”. I always wonder if such people ever tried selling consulting? Or maybe “support”."
Oddly enough, that's been most of my career. A fair number of people have paid me a goodly amount of money to install and keep running OS software, and to answer questions from people using it. When I discover problems, I report them to the original developers, including a patch if at all possible.
