There may be discussions to be made about licenses, but "to watch people cheer at having their work and time exploited by a company worth billions" is a disappointingly myopic take, especially from a developer. Information that is aggregated and organized for easy retrieval is worth more than the sum of individual bits of information. I thought that was common sense. We might as well complain that billionaire supermarket chains are pocketing all the profit while not growing a single potato by themselves.
