    Ive contributed to several projects, code and translation, but you can really expect every user to be a programmer, or every programmer to contribute to every piece of software they use.

    Besides, contribution is not a protection from capture, just look at MySQL.

      i meant contributing with money. contributing code is nice, but that doesn’t help them to pay for electricity.

        That’s donations, and I’ve donated to less projects that I’d like, because it would become costly very fast. Mainly things like Wikipedia or Jellyfin.
