What's wrong with wanting to get paid for a product you develop?
- sneak 4y agoWell, mostly because it's incompatible with the idea of free software: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.en.html https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.en.html Proprietary software like this violates all four of the essential freedoms. Mastodon, for example, is AGPL; it's as much an ideology as it is a license, otherwise CC-0 or MIT would be fine. It is surprising that people take issue with software in this space that doesn't align with the ideology of the people contributing to the space?
