>he finds that software useful and is thankful for the author/author's

>software you use daily
>not contributing to making it better

>>55101906
what does contributing do

>>55102316
Help obtain new hardware, pay the power bill, keep the project alive. Take OpenBSD for example, the project almost died a few years ago then some bitcoin billionare threw a bunch of money at them. I'd rather not let things get to that point, so I donate what I can to what I like.

>>55102367
the power bill for what? the devs' apartments? writing free software doesnt get you a free pass from doing a job.

All of the fucking hardware they need for testing and development

Depends on the project, but why the fuck not donate to thank somebody/people for their hard work? Or to at least make sure that it stays free.

>>55102465
It's going to stay free because free software can't be made unfree. That is the point of free software.

Not all software is GPL

>>55102523
B-but the thread is about free software ergo yes all software that is relevant to the thread is gpl
