Okay, let's look at it from a different perspective.
What obligation do I, a person developing FOSS in my free time without compensation, have to a consumer of that software (and especially to a consumer who is likely making money in part due to their use of the software I wrote)?

And I agree with the author of the post that it's wrong and unjust for people to think otherwise. But so what? That does not change the fact that a person developing FOSS supplies something—in fact in most cases they supply a ton of value.
