minus-squareSuddenlyBlowGreen@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year ago When working on an OS project you are doing it out of altruism and/or fun, fully realising that you will never be compensated for this work. That would imply there are no devs or even entire companies working on open source software and getting paid. Just because you work on open source, doesn’t mean you don’t get paid.
