I'm also not saying that's how people are supposed to make money developing software.
If you wanna get paid to work on free software just go work at an actual company that actually sells something, be it a service or a product. It's not that complicated.
For example I work at a radio advertising network. We simply buy airtime and sell it to advertisers, that's how we make a profit. I get to paid to work on free software almost exclusively, because we need that software to run our business.
We do not try to make a profit selling software, because that would make no sense. Software is just a tool to achieve something for most people, and it is not the main business model for most tech companies.
