Given how many great open source projects there are, some developers actually do that. Just not me and you bro.

A lot of FOSS is maintained by people who are getting paid one way or another to maintain it.

True, but the bigger the project, the more it's supported by paid developers. Either from some foundation or else corporate devs whose jobs include contribution to FOSS projects

Wasn't the case for ImageMagick and OpenSSL for a very long time.

[-] MashedTech@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

for OpenSSL? UNPAID?! HOLY FUCK

[-] newIdentity@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

Well now they got paid after the critical security vulnerability in 2014 (?), but it's basically just two developers.

Also don't confuse OpenSSL with OpenSSH

Yeah this sucks and a lot of projects backed by corporations get "shutdown" (no more maintainer) or the license is changed along the way to a closed one...

The FOSS that matters (mostly) is.
