Stenberg: Food on the table while giving away code

Daniel Stenberg writes about getting paid to work on curl — 21 years after starting the project. "I ran curl as a spare time project for decades. Over the years it became more and more common that users who submitted bug reports or asked for help about things were actually doing that during their paid work hours because they used curl in a commercial surrounding – which sometimes made the situation almost absurd. The ones who actually got paid to work with curl were asking the unpaid developers to help them out."
