How does this compare to salaries for comparable positions at comparable for-profit companies? It’s kinda the point of donations that they can afford to hire people whose labor costs that much.

This debate is about as old as the existence of free licenses. I doubt anyone will have anything new to say in this thread. One aspect that isn’t raised very much is that for a company to maintain software (including their own fork of any software however licensed) costs developer time (= money). It may be cheaper to contribute back anyway, no matter the license, just in order to outsource that effort. If we are talking about software where this is true, companies have an incentive to work with the existing maintainers even if they aren’t legally obliged to.

The thing about PDF is that the whole point of PDF is that it shouldn’t be easy to edit. So you’re asking for hacks around something that isn’t supposed to be easily possible. It’s possible to import PDFs into Inkscape. But my experience is that the result is usually not very easily editable (probably depends on the PDF) because it puts everything into very complex groups and other structures.

It makes sense to use the same setting for this, at least by default, as for dark and light mode in general. Why would you want your terminal dark but your email client bright?

Because when you’re terminaling, you’re hacking, hence dark. When you’re emailing, you’re officeing, hence light.
