This is absolutely not what open source is about. The author just sounds completely against open source, which is fine, but don’t lecture people for not paying for that which was intended to be free.
- xena 5y agoI'm the author in question. I'm not against open source, I'm against the culture of taking without giving back.

- kortilla 5y agoYou are against open source if you view using code as “taking”.
