    Depends what you consider making money to be. Plenty of businesses depend on FOSS desktop software, it makes them money. If I use Linux and tools like Blender, Vim, GCC, etc..., and I sell the resulting product, then I'm making money with FOSS, am I not?

      You are, but the guys coding the software you use are not. So unless you make the effort to contribute back, they will have some issues to pay the rent.
