This is the same rationale for governments raising taxes.

100% agree. If an open source project needs money to run, then isn't that defeating the purpose of being open source? Open source is a gift economy. If the owner can monetise it on the side then that is just a bonus.

I recently launched this satellite imagery tool.

https://satellitemine.com/

I work as a civil engineer in the mining industry and it can be troublesome to download satellite imagery for a particular date and cloud index. Yes, Google Earth Engine and QGIS plugins exist, but they are slow and confusing to jump back into after a period of time. SatelliteMine is simple to use and any images of your area of interest is saved to your account and can be downloaded as a geotiff.

Currently free to use with a cloud storage capped at 512MB per account. Paid plans for greater storage requirements will be provided if the demand is there. Any feedback is welcomed :)
