My guess is that most don't. I don't. I know that my software isn't in

any way as significant as the likes of Ardour and Rosegarden so I may

not be very representative, but on the other hand there are lots of

other people writing free audio software who have never done anything on

that scale and probably never will either. I see it as a hobby. If I had

to do it full time I would probably get bored rather quickly.
Also, the "free" as in "no money needed" is a big reason for me to use

free software, though not the only one. I don't pay for using free

software, and I don't expect anyone to pay me for using mine.
