You always have to do book keeping, tax administration etc.

This is simply a hobby of mine. I don't feel like I'm compromising  
anything. I'm also not getting financial support to read books or go  
to movies, nor would I want it (because then I'd be forced to go,  
even if I don't feel like it). Right now I'm fairly active again in  
FPC, but there have been periods where I was less active because I  
didn't feel like working on it. Thanks to the fact that I have no  
obligations, this is no problem.

I'm happy you like it! At this time, there is no way to speed up or  
improve development by spending money on FPC-related things though.  
Maybe that will change at some point in the future, but for now  
that's how it is.

If I would ask money for something, I would feel responsible for it.
