If you do some research you will find all of the above have other 
incomes to help support them. They don't rely on their software as their 
main source of income. So should I go and get another job so I can make 
my code open source then spend all of my free time working on it to 
provide the level of support I currently provide? Sorry, I am just not 
that dedicated.
