I whole heartily agree to a good ole "fuck you"; But I also think that money shouldn't be a requirement but highly encouraged. I'm a hypocrite for this because I don't monetarily support every open source I use. However, for the critical open source I use like 3rd party Android OS, clients for apps like Lemmy, etc. I'm more than happy to donate what I can. Hell, I'd donate to all if I had to resources to. I don't have a good solution but I do think donating (when it can be afforded) should be highly encouraged and something not a lot of people think about/know about/or consider since they may be using it because it's free to begin with.
