♻ @bobjonkman: The #NTP article does seems like a copycat of the #GnuPG article. But more people contributing code doesn't improve Harlan Stenn's financial position. More people contributing code doesn't pay for servers and colocation sites and network bandwidth and travel costs. The developers at Apple and Google, NIST and NOAA, NYSE and NISSEI all understand the value of NTP, but their corporate masters only see the cost of making donations. If only those corporations who use NTP, OpenSSL, and other one-developer critical infrastructure projects would donate in proportion to the value they get from those projects, then there wouldn't be a financial problem. And what developer wants to work long hours on difficult, legacy-bound code without adequate remuneration? More corporate donations in the form of paid developers would go a long way to getting more contributions.
