You're right, the profit motive isn't necessary. Instead, how about we guarantee them food, water, shelter, and healthcare? Once they aren't worrying about that, I bet they'll have plenty of time to maintain their code!
If they didn't have the basics covered they'd not be volunteers. If they wanted money they're already soliciting. I'd bet most would say as I say when I volunteer, "Donate anonymously to XYZ organization."
But, I'd be on cloud nine if all were guaranteed water, food, clothing, shelter, healthcare, education, and recreation. It's been the consistent US left platform for eighty years.
