> Every time an open source project complains about the challenges of monetization (see the recent Redis controversy), people say "Don't like other companies making money off your software? Then don't license it that way!" Did @woodruffw say that anywhere? Otherwise it's not really a double standard but just different people having different opinions. > We, as a community, need to make up our minds and stop being misled by our own agendas. We as a (presumably "open source" community) should accept that people within our community have a divergent range of views on monetisation and are all entitled to express those views. @woodruffw is a Homebrew maintainer and I'm the Homebrew lead maintainer. We're both surprised to learn about a project that's monetising the work of the package manager we work on (and many others) without any sort of heads up. There's no obligation to provide one, of course, but at the same time we have no obligation to make it easy for or be happy about our work being used in this way.
