>he finds that software useful and is thankful for the author/author's
>software you use daily
>not contributing to making it better
what does contributing do
Help obtain new hardware, pay the power bill, keep the project alive. Take OpenBSD for example, the project almost died a few years ago then some bitcoin billionare threw a bunch of money at them. I'd rather not let things get to that point, so I donate what I can to what I like.
the power bill for what? the devs' apartments? writing free software doesnt get you a free pass from doing a job.
jeez idk
All of the fucking hardware they need for testing and development
Depends on the project, but why the fuck not donate to thank somebody/people for their hard work? Or to at least make sure that it stays free.
It's going to stay free because free software can't be made unfree. That is the point of free software.
Not all software is GPL
but I did word myself poorly desu.
B-but the thread is about free software ergo yes all software that is relevant to the thread is gpl
That SGI Origin alone must cost them hundreds of dollars in electricity every month.
