> The OSS community almost seems to require OSS maintainers to be in poverty

The maintainers chose OSS. It's like taking out a loan then complaining about having to pay it back - either don't go OSS, or step down as maintainer.

Well we need to make it a bit more clear then that OSS is a dead-end and nobody should do it unless you work for a foundation or megacorp. And stop whining about smaller companies who take their OSS work private again so that everyone can make a living.

Depends what you mean by "dead-end", there is plenty non-corp OSS.
