Nobody really 'deserves' anything. All things in life have to be earned one way or the other. (for both sides)

- OJFord 4y agoAren't earning & deserving two sides of the same coin? You deserve something because you did what was necessary to earn it - you earnt it so you deserve it? e.g. in GP's comment - the 'well-intentioned developers' 'deserve' to make a living, because they earnt it by making the nice 'free-ish software' and being 'well-intentioned' etc.?
