Yet another confusion between open source project and open source product.
Ex:
> Nobody is accusing GitHub of exploiting the Git ecosystem.
Because git is not an open source product. It is an open source project.
Open source projects tend toward "free software".
Open source products do not.
Which side of that you think is being "bad" depends on what you value, I guess.
Many of these shenanigans would probably not occur if the giants with billions in revenue who got there through the use of open source products would make relevant financial contributions to the companies behind the open source products. (Nevermind supporting the open source projects, too.)
