It'd be nice if I could be paid for my labor. The thing is, I don't want to be a hardware manufacturer, nor do I want to be a software vendor.
In my mind, for a project like this, the hardware manufacturer(s) should be selling the hardware, collecting the money and giving a cut to the people who maintain the software they depend on. This includes people like me, but more than just that, also the libraries they use, the cross compiling toolchain, and so forth.
