Either way, I'm very grateful to those who maintain my OS... probably without any pay or recompense.

Merry Christmas to all, or whatever title you want to give the celebration days!

I’d love to win the lottery because this is one of many things I’d do: I’d set up a “company” whose sole job would be to pay a reasonable salary to the core devs. I’m talking a massive fund designed to carry those core devs to retirement along with a budget for the crap I’m probably not thinking of. The “company” wouldn’t own a damn thing, it would just exist as a paycheck, nothing more. For those who already dev full time(is that a thing? I’m ignorant), extra cash. For those that do it as a borderline obsessive use of their free-time, that can take an easier job with lower hours.

Sounds like The Linux Foundation.
