Hello.
Although we pirate for various reasons (ideology, no money to spend on entertainment, etc.) I wanted to know if the community actually donates money to any FOSS project? Nearly all of us use a torrent client based on libtorrent (qBit, Transmission, Deluge) or an open source Usenet client such as SABnzbd to consume our pirated content, yet I wonder, how many people here donate to FOSS projects?
I donated 15 euro to KDE in the past, as well as 10 euro to qBittorrent to keep the projects alive. I think that software that respects it’s users deserves to be rewarded for doing so. What is your opinion?
I donate hundreds of hours of my time every year maintaining several open source projects. Does that count?
You’re kind of Robin Hood if you steal software and give the money to FOSS projects. 😄
No. But I should. Probably time to start.
No, but I’m disabled on a next to nothing/gifts from family budget. I sincerely appreciate those that can donate and share my work on git freely.
Yes just a couple of bucks here and there.
Almost BECAUSE they’ve done it for free, I like to chip in .
