Best of luck. I hope there's a path forward where open source can provide a reasonable income stream.

I maintain a couple of open source package for emacs -- it's a labour of love. I'm happy to help folks with their issues, but it's easy to say "sorry, I don't have capacity to add this feature" or "no, I don't think this is a good fit for the project". If I depended on this for money.. well this would change the whole approach, wouldn't it?
