#2A hobby is something you do for fun, that usually doesn't earn an income or doesn't earn much of an income.
A lot of free and open source projects started out as someone's hobby and grew over time.

I am using the IRS definition of a hobby. If your business doesn't earn enough money the IRS classifies it as a hobby. Once you earn enough money it is no longer a hobby and must be taxed.
