@thisismissem I have found that the people least willing to engage in the work needed to understand why people fade out of Open Source due to financial hardship are people who have not needed to rely on Open Source for their daily bread.

Sorry folks, not everyone is employed by Big Corp Inc or get a huge grant or whatever. Relying on the largess of the community instead for income? Hoo boy, that's a one-in-a-million chance (and even then probably "apps" rather than "libraries").
