Well, all the big tech corps done the same. Nothing to see here. OSS needs proper funding infrastructure. Which all the big players shit on. So, I can't judge him on that. His work, his time.

I’ve made quite popular FOSS dev tools and FOSS gaming companion tools. I don’t nag for donations in any case. Rather ironically, I found that dev tools generated close to zero donations while gaming companion tools generated decent donations (still nowhere close to time I put in if I go by consulting rate, but that wasn’t the goal). Devs just take other devs’ free work for granted. And bitch the most when you try to make money off free work too (not that I ever added or will add ads to any of my hobby work).
