Part of it is about the amount. Symbolic gestures and token donations from other companies following suit don’t really matter.

- maximedupre 5y agoWhy would you assume that companies following suit would make symbolic gestures rather than a culture/values shift? This is a nuanced subject - companies won't just all start donation to OSS because of Sentry. But more and more companies taking leadership over time can compound into an industry perspective shift. The only thing relevant is the result. Even if some companies start to do symbolic gestures and token donations, the result of Sentry making a positive action is even greater.
- RNCTX 5y ago> Why would you assume that companies following suit would make symbolic gestures rather than a culture/values shift? Because companies are generally managed by far worse people. Just this afternoon I stumbled across an email template framework on GitHub in which one of the issues posts had a responder remove HTML templates from a reply to a bug report because he said his boss claimed that was their "intellectual property." Using an MIT licensed lib for free, think the plain ole html markup they generated with it is "valuable code," that's the CIS + MBA grads I know!
