Software Below the Poverty Line

I picked popular open source projects from OpenCollective, and selected the yearly income data from each. On donations alone, open source is sustainable (fairly within industry standards) in a sweet spot: when a popular project, with a sufficiently small team, knows how to gather significant funding from a crowd of donators or sponsor organizations. Yet, many of the open source projects they showcase on their website are below poverty line regarding income from donations.
