More people should start charging for their work and actually staffing security. I like zorin just for the fact that I have expectations for items I pay for where things that are free I can't really hold accountable.
I know that's antiFOSS but I'm somewhere in the middle lately. I want to pay for quality but still be able to tinker with it.
A lot of free and open source products are in fact funded through grants or corpates
What do you mean? Payment isn't anti-FOSS at all, it's just a lot harder to make money when the source is libre.
I'm glad you think so. I remember Richard stallman banging on a bongo singing that charging for software is greed.
I just want people to have enough incentives for their time that things are safe and the workers paid properly. I wish more open source devs got paid.
That's not exactly anti-FOSS, to my understanding, since the "free" part refers to freedom. As long as after you pay you are free to use the software as you want and get access to the source code, I think it might still count as FOSS?
And then, of course, there's the option of paid support on free (of charge) software, though I think recent events might suggest that's not really sustainable.
