Open source has a very sustainable funding model as evidenced by 50 years of continuous, quality software being developed and maintained by a diverse set of maintainers.
I say sustainable because it has been sustained, is increasing in quantity and quality, and reasonably seems to be continuing.

Me giving something away and others taking what I give is not exploitation. Please don’t speak for others and claim people are exploited. One of the main tenets of gnu is to prevent exploitation.
