Well, you choosing to donate your time and effort to a union project is really not analogous to a human's work improving lives by making open source software.

Well, you choosing to donate your time and effort to a union project is really not analogous to a human's work improving lives by making open source software. What you said is cool and all but I am still waiting for my money for all of the open source software that you are using. Sane countries make you pay only if you want to participate in the union (such as when you vote).
