We IT workers are one of the most privileged people on planet earth.We earn a lot of money and can work from anywhere and yet we have decided to be manipulated by the Big Corporations to do the wrong thing. Behind every open source project is a qualified individual that is doing something else and is paid well.Instead of working on what matters to him and earning a livable wage he has to slave away for some shitty corporation that pays him to write meaningless software. We, the most privileged people have decided to vote with our wallets and we voted wrong. I dont say you have to pay for it no matter what.If you dont need it you dont pay for it but pretending the "price is too steep and you cant afford it" is just lying to yourself and to us.
