If you had/have enough disposable income, what would drive you to donate to opensource software? (programming.dev)

Scenario: you're using opensource software and you aren't donating yet, however you have enough money left over every month to do so. Something(s) is holding you back from donating. Think about what that is and what would have to change for you to change that.

Yeah I donate to the KDE and Debian projects as I use them a bunch and I'd like these projects to keep going so supporting them financially makes sense to me. Not a massive amount only a tenner a month in each case so I doubt I'm having a huge amount of impact in their finances but at this point they've both got more out of me than any proprietary project ever did.
