They can: they eventually implement features that the open-source world

So where's the payware OS and software for, say, Raspbarry Pi?

Open source is not profit driven. The Raspberry Pi computers make a lot of

And this is why GNOME is a few months away from going bankrupt as is
Mozilla after Google's legal loss. This is also why KDE nags you for
donations when you first use the desktop environment. Say what you will
about open-source users, but they're pretty bad at giving money to the
organizations that produce the software they use. This is also why the
most talented programmers working on open-source eventually give up and
produce software that they can sell.

 
A quick lookup on the GNOME Foundation (not GNOME's) supposed upcoming
bankruptcy. And exchange from two posters on Reddit...
 
    Who started this fake news saying that GNOME would "go bankrupt"? I'm
    really curious. We're talking about a non-profit organization.
 
      Lunduke. It's always f-ing Lunduke.
 
      Hope someone sues his ass one day for this type of shit.
 
I'm guessing that the Lunduke moron was your "source" (so to speak).

It was indeed Lunduke, but he's basing his report on GNOME's own
numbers. I hope that you'll apologize when it indeed goes bankrupt not
too long from now.
