Give me a break. The incentives that coaxed popular open source authors to create their projects in the first place is still there. If people feel compelled to give money for something that was designed to be free, that's great. But I've yet to see anything that suggests that people will stop making OSS if they aren't given $50 a week.
- shurcooL 13y agoIt's not about them not working on OSS if they don't get money for it. It's about them being able to work on OSS 30+ hours a week instead of 8 hrs a week if you (and many others) give 'em a few bucks a week.
