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. --ll
