Or somebody read their tweet, and then personally imagined how cool it would be if one day they got a package saying "we used your code, here's a Switch as thanks." People aren't always making complex cost/benefit analysis before posting a one sentence tweet.
- furyofantares 6y agoI don't see how that's in disagreement with what I found interesting? Usually the sentiment I see expressed in these threads reads to me as: hey, it's not fair that this company is profiting on your (permissively licensed) work without sharing the profit. But I think that is not the sentiment being expressed here, and rather it is the thing you said.
- boomboomsubban 6y agoI thought you were discussing the twitter replies, not the discussion here. The top comment in this thread, the one I replied to, is basically "I'm happy for the guy, but why do people think Nintendo should/would contribute back?" It's the same GPL vs BSD discussion, just people aren't trying to rain on the individual's celebration.
