- pawadu 10y agoBecause you have to move fast and break things and it is very hard to break OpenBSD :)
- witty_username 10y agoIf you're serious, then how is open source software "free" if there is an expectation of donations?
- toyg 10y agoWe should all strive for "Free as in freedom, not as in beer".
- greenokapi 10y agoOh here we go...
- kriro 10y agoI'd really like it if VC/incubators etc. would set up a donation system where they give X$ to projects that are used by their funded companies. I also wouldn't mind seeing an equivalent to the YC-nonprofit program specifically dedicated to the development of interesting FLOSS software (or the support of existing projects). At the very least I'd be interested in seeing an overview of the various FLOSS code that is used by every YC batch (maybe such a list exists?).
