I can't say I considered this for a moment when reading Karen's comment.

I would hope that anyone doing such great work as you did in an Open Source
project SHOULD have the opportunity to make some money by supporting
the companies that use it, but I only consider this now you mention
material gain.

I read Karen's comment as a validation of how important, not just to
casual users
but to businesses the work you have or are doing. This is a sign of a successful
project, not an issue in my mind.
