Is KeepassXC even a company ? looking at their site and wikipedia, they're just a bunch of people dedicated enough to maintain the project. Looking at the donation page [0] they don't even list anything going to themselves in the use of the money.
So they're effectively paying with their time to keep the thing alive. If anything the community seem to own a ton to these guys.
This reminds me of "The gift of it's your problem now" (2021):
The best part of free software is it sometimes produces stuff you never would have been willing to pay to develop (Linux), and sometimes at quality levels too high to be rational for the market to provide (sqlite).
The worst part of free software is you get what you get, and the developers don't have to listen to you. (And as a developer, the gift recipients aren't always so grateful either.)
