Raking in the dough on Free and Open Source Software
by forwardslash

    I'm writing this on the third day after the "Heartbleed" bug in OpenSSL devasted internet security, and while I have been very critical of the OpenSSL source code since I first saw it, I have nothing but admiration for the OpenSSL crew and their effort.

    In particular considering what they're paid for it.

    Inspired by an article in Wall Street Journal which tangentially touches on the lack of funding for OpenSSL development, I have decided to write up my own experiences with funding Open Source Software development in some detail.
