So easy! If you wanna get paid, just already be getting paid et voila:

The best defence against this is to have lot of paying sponsors!

Why not just offer to pay for specific features? There are existing platforms where users can vote on features they want and pay developers to implement them. If the government wants to support projects they should participate by founding desired features. This way there's no risk that they will take over the direction of the project.
