This is psychological problem you cannot solve by technological means. As a wee lad I actually made some pocket money from a GPL-licensed software I maintained. That part was surprisingly easy, the skill is highly valued. But I avoided making it a career, it all felt so overwhelming (how to balance fun, demands from customers and contributions???), inappropriate("you must not be doing money from GPL!!!!11"), weird (even harder to explain what I'm doing than typical IT job) and lonely.
