Cardinal takes money via Github sponsorships. It appears that the original VCV Rack developer’s efforts are a money-maker for a few people…

If you think that this project makes any money you are completely clueless.

There is no information publicly disclosed about how much money is generated, but the sponsorship button is there and that is the point.
