Some are fortunate enough that they could take up the work without money, and perhaps donations do not count depending on license or depending on some country’s law. Most would find that a hindrance and now users must just hope it doesn’t get worse or find something else - like proprietary software.

I can see how in the short term companies like NextCloud would be hindered using a non-commercial license, but in the long term I think non-commercial licenses might be the way to go for some things, if we want to encourage society to publicly fund some software development for crucial infrastructure.

If a country has a universal basic income then it would be easier for people to choose to donate time to a project.
