What jobs? How can the developers get other jobs if no one is paying for their open source software in the first place?

I don't understand, there are still lots of companies that fund FOSS. Publishing FOSS doesn't mean you can't go out of business, it means customers get an additional layer of protection from you going out of business or deciding you don't want to be in a certain market anymore, as Redis Labs has clearly done here.

Sure, those companies make money, ergo why people want to be able to make money while working on FOSS.
