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.

The best thing is when a private company contributes regularly to FOSS projects moving them along at a timely pace.
