A few weeks back I encountered a FOSS guy here explaining that when he sees open source devs ask for money, he blocks them and then stops using their code because they're morally wrong and he only wants to work with tools made by people who are doing the work for the right reasons. (I'm paraphrasing to avoid indexing the post.)
I've resisted writing about it because I'm slammed, but the question I can't shake is: Who benefits from the ideology of "pure" volunteerism?
@kissane So basically what he’s saying is folks making “open source” should be working at Big Corp during the day or be independently wealthy. And screw those of us actually trying to contribute to the commons. I guess we can just die.
@RaleighStraight @kissane Well said.
