Comment Comment by bevekspldnw As somebody who pulled down an open source project I find this trope of FOSS losing its way for greed utterly disingenuous.People need to put food on the table, period. I’ve had people take my work and make more money from it than I have, with no attribution or credit.Then I pulled it down and got a lot of people asking why it’s no longer free, when I tell them I can sell them a license they don’t even reply.I care more about my family than your FOSS ideals. End of story. parent bevekspldnw 2 years ago
People need to put food on the table, period. I’ve had people take my work and make more money from it than I have, with no attribution or credit.

I care more about my family than your FOSS ideals. End of story.
