- pjmlp 6y agoI surely not only paid for my compilers (started coding in 1986), also do donations every time I download a distro, buy books from all open source projects that are relevant for my work.
- type0 6y agoNot everyone is as fortunate as you are, some cs students in poor countries might also need a stable server OS that is not Debian. You could argue they shouldn't but this is in the spirit of open source: non-discriminatory access regardless of the economic situation. Do not reduce it to donationaware argument. When you buy RHEL you are buying the support access and not anything else.
