Update, Feb. 5, 2015, 8:10 p.m.: After this article appeared, Werner 
Koch informed us that last week he was awarded a one-time grant of 
$60,000 from Linux Foundation's Core Infrastructure Initiative. Werner 
told us he only received permission to disclose it after our article 
published. Meanwhile, since our story was posted, donations flooded 
Werner's website donation page and he reached his funding goal of 
$137,000. In addition, Facebook and the online payment processor Stripe 
each pledged to donate $50,000 a year to Koch’s project.

Yay!

But in all seriousness, this is a big issue for all open source software 
developers. Thanks for posting it.
