This is why FOSS with donation is actually a superior model.
I honestly rather download a free software and donate after I know that it’s good and I’ll know that I’ll always have access to it.
Paying for something that can be revoked (cause it’s a legally license, not owned) just doesn’t sound like ownership.
Right, but the problem with FOSS is a that it usually moves slow, typically isn't very user friendly, and has no real support from devs most of the time.
Turns out, if it's a single person in their free time it's slower. But at least if something isn't working I can fix it myself.
