    This tweet goes out to the teams of five that raise a few million dollars and build something almost as good as the open source product some random hobbyist put on Github

        Sales is also a high effort task that should be rewarded. Often times Open Source (OS) creators are deterred by the sales process and prefer to OS rather than sell.

        The modding communities for Skyrim and SimCity 4 and such, over the years, have had a truly ludicrous quantity and quality of free labor.

        With special shoutout to those who ripoff the opensource version and half heartedly rename the variables and functions but forget file timestamps

        This is brutally honest, but also highlights the need for a better compensation system for open source projects AND a discussion about why “open source + (value add)” can be as deserving of funding as proprietary solutions.

        That hobbyist is probably working for the startup with the funding during the day and tinkering by night. OS contributers have day job. Giving software away still doesn't pay anyone's bills even if it works on a collective scale.
