Honestly, the biggest crime that F/OSS committed was to peddle the belief that a software engineers’ time is inherently less valuable than that of a civil engineer or a chemical engineer. And yes you can quibble that F/OSS isn’t to blame, it’s really the fault of corporations who profit off of the shoulders of giants! Well you are free to feel smug in your glass house while benefiting from all of the industries who don’t share your tightly held scruples (medicine, chemistry, aerospace etc.) Just because precursors to my work didn’t feel it necessary to sell said work doesn’t mean i should feel bad for selecting a different course.
