Depends, only when accepting to be paid exactly the same way.

What I don't agree is the expectation to be paid, while refusing to pay other developers for their work.

Even the gratis stuff I use, back in the early FOSS days I bought CDs and magazines that distributed the software, the few times I went to FOSDEM the full volunteer package, nowadays books written by community members and occasional donations on stuff I use regularly.

So it is just not empty words about what is right.
