Same issue there. A profession is an occupation that you get paid for doing.

AFAIK the rsync maintainer does it for free. And he mainly seems to be getting abuse in return for that service.

Wrong, a profession is an occupation that requires specialized training or qualifications. This means one can have a profession and still not get paid.

What abuse you are referring to?

If you want to go down that semantic route, then being an open source maintainer clearly isn't a profession, as it requires neither specialized training nor qualifications!

In terms of abuse, I was thinking of this issue thread: https://github.com/RsyncProject/rsync/issues/929
