One yet another narrative that claim all people owe to an open source.

I believe, once in deep future, an open source developers will grown and stop repeating this sectarian mantra.

No one owes you anything. If you do opensource and you need in money - use your open source as marketing tool to promote services you sell.

It's simple as 2+2, I've mention it in my blog post https://vitonsky.net/blog/2025/06/24/open-source/

I think those who believe a companies will pay to you for a random OSS is just a kids. Ask people who can use a sheets, they explain you why your product will die with this approach.
