My theory is that the traditional idea of "ownership" does not translates to free software. In fact its one of the reason why I am hesitant to be involved with any type of open source "community". In a traditional corporation, you own shares or worse stock options but their are clear legal rights. In Open Source on the other hand you can start a very popular software spend years of your life toiling away and nurturing it, and then suddenly a bunch of activists make an issue out of a donation you made several years ago. Instantly you find yourself kicked out of the organization. Now if it were a company, sure you might still get kicked out the company but your shares will remain intact. These days with random unverifiable accusations, extreme political correctness, & activists going through history to dig up mud, open source community has become hazardous to ones career.
