    I believe it’s a chicken and an egg problem.

    If free software projects had more users, those users would improve the software further with donations, patches, and bug reports.

      I think both can be true. I just mean if we’re talking about a company paying for Microsoft Office vs LibreOffice.

      No.

      There is enough LibreOffice users to realize that the curve of the donations over users isn’t proportional.

      When was the last time you donated?

      Exactly.
