The devs… have socialist tendencies(by their own admission, their words, not mine!), and are more then happy to live on peanuts and bread while building software for the better of humanity.
However, donations to the project, do pay for their basic expenses.
Actually- they are full time working on this.

Wow, that’s impressive! Not many open-source developers don’t need a full-time gig.
IIRC they’re openly Marxists-Leninists.
Haha don’t need to treat socialism like a taboo, there’s more to the world than the US and laissez-faire capitalism.
I understand- I took that part from one of the dev’s bios.

they have been funded by grants from NLnet (I think from EU funds?) but I think are transitioning to donation-based.
