This article completely misses the point, IMO. I've contributed to multiple open source projects, to the point I'd wager millions of people per day use some code I've written. It's not for money, it's for giving. The model works best when you can give and take in equal parts. To me at least, it's almost a Wiki, where people can learn and also contribute what they know. Plus, it's great resume fodder, to the point it's paid itself off in dividends. Some people are lucky enough to actually get paid to do full time open source...kudos to them. But not being able to survive off expectations of making money to write open source does not mean open source is not sustainable. The past few decades have shown us just the opposite.
