Blender and Godot both show one possible way to putting food on the table and spending your time contributing to open source projects that you love. Other companies provide consulting and related services. Business is hard, you can't just write some code, throw it over a wall with an open source license, and expect the money to start pouring in.

You can get a job at a company like Google, Amazon, Microsoft, or hundreds of others where they pay folks to write open source code, too.
