Where did you get volunteers from?

It's about people on the maintainers list, and those are paid.

That it's open software doesn't mean people are working for free.

You made a declarative statement that nobody would work full time for free.

So explain volunteers.

Where did I make that statement?

Do you mean the article that I posted?
