open-source doesn't always mean working for free,

Sponsorship brings goal conflicts, and locks both sponsor and sponsee into a death spiral of software like a dog with one true master and a master who can never get a new dog until this one is dead.

So what? The point of open source is that you get the source to do with what you want, not "give me shit for free".
