All this amounts to: society is better when we're motivated for things other than money. The best development is done for other reasons. Capitalist claim that profit is the main motivator is nonsense, and FLOSS developers know that. So: the answer is to keep FLOSS development from getting funded???? The real answer is for everyone to have a Basic Income so that we can all eat and have a roof and healthcare at a minimal level. Then people can make all this great FLOSS and do it even better and it will pay off for the world FAR more than if we tried to pay directly for the development work in a type of market exchange system. But given the actual state of the world, giving a FLOSS developer some money to pay his rent while he focuses on FLOSS is NOT a bad thing.
