I have artist friends, some receive private and state grants, others only survive on teaching and selling art. They do sometimes complain about how hard life is without money, but it’s a choice. If an artist said “I’m going to quit art if the world doesn’t pay me”, surely most people would just say, “good luck with that.” If someone’s art piece contained a bug that broke a company’s industrial build pipeline, and all funding for improving the art piece was gone the next 15 months, I’m sure that company would consider donating. There isn’t a principal difference between art and software here. It is the nature of companies that rely on open source that is not well understood here, causing criticism and questions. This is a friendly reminder that anyone interested in a 3.1 release in the foreseeable future should cough up. :-) I really don’t see the complaining.
