I'm certainly not going to do any boring work without being paid. If any user (actually, companies) are affected by policies and want me to teach them about those, and possibly centralize knowledge about known regulations of our software, I'm certainly open to consulting work, and of course, to being well paid for it.
And if intelligence agencies are affected by our software releases and they don't voluntarily come to us, they'll have to do more work, so it's in their interest to come to us and talk. If they don't, I don't give a ****. I'll keep having fun of having broken the (bad) scripts of an intelligence agency with a release.
