Let's try replacing FLOSS with scientific research and see how wrong it sounds:
"Author also comes from perspective that somehow research in itself is good and should be sustained. Scientific research projects are not endengered species to keep it alive.
If no one is interested in paying for research, then people don't need it. Simple as that, when science breaks like open ssh companies will chip in... "
All those crap papers that people write just to get PHD should vanish.
On the other hand how much science went into SpaceX and reusable rockets? How much science is in chemistry to get new drugs because there are tons of people who would pay for that. Somehow LHC got funded and it was not cheap.
In past inventors were guys that had too much free time and too much money.
