The discussion is about the statement: "But he's asking ALL software developers to stop making software for money"
That is blatantly false. Who gives a shit if they are selling software, or selling "support" for software? Either way people are making money with GPL software.
There seems to be a phenomenon on HN of absurd pedants deliberately derailing conversations.

- burgerbrain 15y agoAs I said, pedants derailing conversations. The most popular way seems to be selectively ignoring context. "sell" So sue me.
