npub1qxd2t6easjh75zd73vlk23ejfza7vn6u9rn28vu7klr7wdrqdgfsfusqjl (npub1qxd…sqjl) I think there is at least a third group, because I find myself in neither:
I like to use free and open source because it is "the right thing to do". Also, I usually donate well when I use something that has real production value.
Of course it is not possible to donate to 300 different npm packages, that are fetched when I add a single dependency.
When I find bugs or have ideas I also usually take the time to file proper bug reports and sometimes, if knowledge permits, send a patch. IMHO: The currency in free and open source is not money, it is time.
Example: https://caprover.com/
It is a perfect PaaS replacement which runs on two of my production servers and saved me a lot of money. I've donated over $500 to the project.
Or https://github.com/h2non/imaginary, an image resizer that I use in production, donated $180.
Or https://github.com/samber/lo, a functional Go library that makes coding in Go enjoyable for me.
On the other side, with the exception of Tuner, the FOSS app I created and released for Linux, I rarely publish any work of my own.
