> developers working in any software to make a god damn living and not die starving in a gutter

There are many examples of opensource developers receiving full time payment from the community. Krita, Godot, and more all exist long term.

You can earn a living, and respect user freedoms.

See that right there is already a better statement than what I replied to. However it still doesn’t tell me how you intend on being more respectful of user freedoms than the other project. You effectively have to convince me why your ethical stance is the correct one in order to make your project seem better than it’s parent in order to sway me towards choosing it over the older more established project.

Those are all unique projects, not forks.
