Software developers don't have to sell "digital goods". They can sell their work. Pay a developer to get the feature you want added next.

- tptacek 15y agoThat works great, as long as we're all happy shaving a couple orders of magnitude off the value of the software industry.
- Drbble 15y agos/value/profit/ There is a difference. GPL software like Linux is hugely valuable, it's value is generally not measured, since it is a cost saving (and a near no-brainer to choose when the quitting is good), not a profit or expense. Also, MS and Apple (only _really_ since recently) sell software, but Google and Facebook no not.
