I really wish one of the existing db technologies, Firebird, got a shot in the arm. It has both embedded and server modes which makes it unique as far as I know. Also the database is a single file which with firebirds "careful write&q

Are we talking about good old fashioned CRUD applications here or is this something different?

Since FSF only has 4800 paying supporters worldwide, does it matter to that many people, globally, as a point of principle.

Develop domain knowledge of the motor car. Ever more outlandish scenarios to enable you to make money from software in an open source way. Well I want to develop software for devices people already have, their PCs. Nobody but some software

All software isn't line of business bespoke jobs for mega corp. Family business sometimes need software specific to their vertical market but can't afford to employ someone for a year to do it.

Great software developers deserve to make their fortune too and should be free to do so in a manner that suits both them and their (consenting adult) clients without name-calling from developers with different philosophy/orientation.

I used to be user of TuneIn radio for a year or two but grew to dislike it with its newer heavier updates that you could not avoid and the pressure to go professional or whatever it's called. Now I just have bookmarks to the BBC Sounds

And there's nothing to stop someone else letting you write all the code and get paid for the bit you charge for, right. In fact they could work full time on that while you have to spend time doing software updates/maintenance etc.

But planning/hoping to sell copies in the future is unethical, is it?
