Until the day FOSS development does not get recognised as a critical job by governments and global ruling bodies, FOSS will not carry over into the next century.

People hate donating, so FOSS will die and capitalism will win.

How it started: passion
How it’s going: passion
It cannot continue on passion alone. Have you ever worked for a home/family with zero financial need and only passion? Does not work.
