You can pay for free and open source software. I do it to support FOSS developers and maintainers.

software example: Krita https://store.steampowered.com/app/280680/Krita/ source code under GPLv3 https://invent.kde.org/graphics/krita

game example: Shapez https://store.steampowered.com/app/1318690/shapez/ source code under GPLv3 https://github.com/tobspr-games/shapez.io

If people paying for FOSS was the norm, we wouldn't have a post on the FOSS developers not making money on the front page every 2 months. I don't blame people for not going this route.

You assume them being commercial would imply their success.
