@breitensteinart One can make a living off free and open source. Many companies can do it. For example, the folks who make Nextcloud.

The bigger question I have is: how do these VCs plan on achieving their ROI?

Except Nextcloud and other companies are selling support services in a B2B environment. Other than making white label purchaser-specific versions of Mastodon I don't see any source of profit for them other than the sale of data / including advertising.
