I've always felt guilty by taking for granted the rare breed of virtuous humans that provide free excellent software without relying on advertising. Let's change that and pay, how much would I “lose” anyway?

      Almost every open source project accepts donations. They want your money, they just don’t demand your money.

        Sometimes I get scared that I‘d go broke if I donated to every project I use but if everyone who downloaded my software just left a dollar, I‘d have 8k after a year which would nearly sustain me alone.

        So I think I might just donate a dollar to every project since it does make a difference.
