@fell @Liberapay @opencollective And for the love of god, please don't just donate to the big names in Open Source!

Sure they can use the money, but so can that lone developer of that small project that makes your life just a little better.

So if you're using a smaller open source project that you like, check if they have an option to support them financially.

@simon_brooke @massonpj @ow2 That is a wonderful summary! Hear, hear! I fully agree.

@simon_brooke @massonpj @ow2 More and more I find myself about true free open source vs "other open source". (#Corporate) #greed has companies / people to (ab)use #OSS devs' time to develop their (in the end) #commercial #products. #Rugpulling #licenses from under the #community.

#Opensource #funding is important, but it should be about:

"how do we allow those devs to live a decent life while they provide good, usefull & truly free open source software."

True #FOSS is indeed about #gifting.
