How does open source get money? According to the original GNU Manifesto from the 1980s

> All sorts of development can be funded with a Software Tax:

The GNU Manifesto arguably concedes OSS won't make money

> In the long run, making programs free is a step toward the postscarcity world, where nobody will have to work very hard just to make a living. People will be free to devote themselves to activities that are fun, such as programming, after spending the necessary ten hours a week on required tasks such as legislation, family counseling, robot repair and asteroid prospecting. There will be no need to be able to make a living from programming.
