    I believe it’s a chicken and an egg problem.

    If free software projects had more users, those users would improve the software further with donations, patches, and bug reports.

      I think both can be true. I just mean if we’re talking about a company paying for Microsoft Office vs LibreOffice.

      There is enough LibreOffice users to realize that the curve of the donations over users isn’t proportional.
