Yeah, I've contributed a lot to OSS (has Sam Altman done so?), and he comes across as a taker.
IMO OSS licences should exclude Silicon Valley parasites until they show a modicum of gratitude.
- bobby_9x 11y agoGratitude? OSS is supposed to be about donating your time, without asking for anything in return. Othetwise, you are just as bad as your perception of silicon valley.
- crpatino 11y agoLet me take the opportunity to repeat myself. We need a "professional-courtesy" license. Something like a GPL on steroids that can only ever be distributed as tarballs. The minute to pass a binary around, the minute you try to deploy with any sort of devops, etc, you have just opted-in for a commercial license, which requires a (modest) yearly fee. This way, your generosity will gain jobs for a fellow hackers somewhere. Takers still can pay for the benefit of convenience, though.
