Do you have any sort of data to back up the claim that people are taking internships and going hungry because they don't have senior-level experience? I would think that it being a "systemic evil" would certainly warrant at least a few newsworthy articles or stories. Besides, nobody is arguing that something like that would be a morally acceptable situation or that people engage in that type of activity.
As for GSoC, again...voluntary. The kids have fun and they earn monetary rewards for their work.

If the company knows that the job is unfair, and is using it as free labor that is wrong. The point is what's morally wrong and in some cases... illegal to the point the feds have to get involved [2].
