It's a bad thing when the job is advertised: "Volunteer/Unpaid".
- mdekkers 3y agoThe poster I replied to indicated that the “making money” part could come later. It is easy enough to have a volunteering agreement that catches this with clauses. Open sourcing the code won’t help with that scenario anyway.

- mdekkers 3y agoIt’s a content-driven website with user submissions. They don’t even claim copyright or ownership on the content, which is the actual thing that makes up the unique value. Open source what, exactly? You point makes literally zero sense
