- fragmede 9mo agoIt would be, if it were true. I'm not going to cast the entirety of a very large community in a single light, but there are great deal of people in the open source community who are afraid of money, or more specifically, that someone else might be making some, especially using open source code that they didn't personally hand write. Another symptom is most projects don't have an easy way to donate money to them.
