- the_other 5y agoI think at this point it's clear we need to stop calling those OSS, and instead call them "volunteer-developed" (or some other euphemism for the owner externalising the cost of dev and test).
- jfrunyon 5y agoI'm not sure what you're getting at. Do you think that most not-hobby FOSS projects are somehow 'profiteered' by freeloading companies who own them but don't invest any time or labor into them?
