    @HKayn This may sound cold hearted and I swear I’m not:

    There is no obligation for the world in general to pay someone for open source software. (right now)

    Everyone should think long hard about writing software and donating time and effort because of this.

    I don’t like this state of things, I would prefer some kind of “general usefulness” tax financed grant thing.

      And this is exactly why the dev of PySimpleGUI did what they did.

      Whether they have a business case will depend on what happens on those forks. Will they be as maintained as the original was?
