So much for the F in FOSS.
Im not asking for *you* to pay for my time. But my rent is not free, nor are any of the bills I pay (like electric or internet), nor is the food that passes, occasionally, through my system. Those all benefit you, whether or not you pay to download the code I provide. But if I dont pay them, you will lose support for that code. Have you ever seen a module that says Supported by or Underwritten by? That means that someone paid for that module you get for nothing and about which you are free to complain. I would have much more time and incentive to work on those modules if someone anyone was paying me to do it. Right now, Real Life* is hindering my ability to support my 20+ modules. I feel very bad about that, but it is a reality that I must face and so must my adopters. There are many large companies that would otherwise be paying a large chunk of change to some vendor for the benefits they get from Drupal core and contib maintainers. If they would contribute a portion of the savings, the entire Drupal community would be better off. BTW, how much are you making from Drupal? How much have you contributed back? Nancy
