"we"?

I was trying, but obviously failing, to extend the joke by asking who "we" was, as per the old Lone Ranger joke (https://huntthedevil.wordpress.com/2015/05/08/what-do-you-me...)
I have no FOSS projects, I'm not sure I entirely agree with it all, there's an element of "getting developers to create free stuff for corporations". I notice there are no "FOSS" architecture plans, or any other professional output. But I digress. Good for you :)

It is a personal choice to share commercially non-viable works under Apache 2.0, but I agree FOSS won't normally pay the bills.
One can't do a OSS project expecting other people to give a toss, but rather it solves a niche issue you and 5 other hobbyists encountered. =3
My only active FOSS project right now is a unpublished 3D volumetric slicer for a home metal printer that won't be public for another 2 to 3 years for various trade reasons. I code mostly for fun these days, and the dude doesn't sound like fun to work around. =3
