Why the anti capitalistic sentiment? Is programmers want to get paid for our work, right?

  No. Programmers want huge paychecks but everyone ELSE should be FOSS and code for us for free

    ahem Free software does not need to be gratis. There are several examples of companies which charge money for free software.

      ahem That's obviously not what is being discussed here. > It would be great for AWS if Docker simply focused on open source bug-fixing and let AWS provide the profitable services....

        I was responding to the specific, sarcastic, wording of this line "Programmers want huge paychecks but everyone ELSE should be FOSS and code for us for free".

          And I said FOSS not gratis with intent. Perhaps could have made it FOSS and Gratis. Devs are mad ITunes is closed source. Mad windows is closed source. But happy to get a big paycheck if they work at Microsoft or Apple.

            > But happy to get a big paycheck if they work at Microsoft or Apple. I wouldn't ever want to work for a proprietary software company. But I admit that I'm on the extreme end on this debate.
