Open source developers -- If your work is used in a commercial product, you deserve to be paid for it. I strongly urge you to structure your licenses so that code you write is free only for noncommercial uses. Otherwise, you're encouraging exploitative practices. 1/2
Comparing not making any money vs making money isn't exactly what I was thinking. I'm curious how that compares with "donate to the author" schemes. I truly don't know. Do donation schemes incur the same overhead of bank accounts, taxes, etc?

If it's unclear, I'm not arguing for or against anything. I'm trying to build an understanding of the landscape.

So if it's going to be less than $100 / year, it's just waste of time even to add that donate button, and then depressed that your open source you spending bunch time on is making $100/year. It's hobby, it doesn't need to make money.
