charge whom if you don't work in a company? If it was the case nobody would be writing open source code to begin with. Do you think students writing and maintaining open source libraries are being compensated by their university or something?
- carapace 5y ago> charge whom if you don't work in a company? I don't understand the question. You charge the customer, the form can be freelancer, co-op, partnership, corp, whatever, it's orthogonal. > If it was the case nobody would be writing open source code to begin with. FWIW, this is what RMS does and recommends others to do. > Do you think students writing and maintaining open source libraries are being compensated by their university or something? Some are, some aren't. What's your point?
