No such thing as “free” on the Internet

NetZero taught me that lesson back in the 90s

    like all FOSS projects, the Blender Project is user- and developer-supported.

    nothing is "free"

    The FOSS acronym starts with free (as in speech).

    Obviously development takes time but payment for that time is usually done as a sort of solidarity based system if the developer(s) want money.

    There's actually a lot of free stuff out there.

    Many blogs simply serve as a creative outlet for their authors. And there are plenty of tools that someone developed, others improved, and that still others put online, just because. And then there are a lot of peoples pet projects anyone can enjoy. All for free, because the only thing nicer that creating stuff is sharing that stuff.

    There are just also a bunch of assholes.

    I never saw ads on the debian website, kernel.org, blender, codeberg, uBlock, fmhy.net etc etc

    You just don't know where to look
