I know devs doing exactly this today. Devs who when the actions of their employer would have forced them to diverge from being able to do so, stuck to their convictions so much that they chose to terminate that employet contract so they could continue to do exactly that "in their spare time out of the goodness of their heart."

I will fully admit that I am not that kind of individual, I lack the capacity to contribute meaningfully in that way, but there are certainly many out there in our industry who are.
