- highduc 3y agoBut do they build for free? Or do they build for money, and especially for the perspective of even more money?
- kcb 3y agoIn our society, why should they be expected to build for free? Unless you only hire previously wealthy individuals the idea that there's this class of selfless scientists at the top of their field that don't need to pay a mortgage or support a family is absurd.
- hervature 3y agoIn case you do not understand why you are being downvoted. This is precisely what the person you are replying to is saying. When push comes to shove, will these builders prefer a paycheck or stand on their principles.
- kklisura 3y agoIf linux was not free - we would not be having this conversation and we would live in a drastically different world.
- mikrl 3y agoTell me in which country Linux was first developed? Which part of the world is that? Do the countries there have something special which they are well known for, and which might make unpaid passion projects more attainable than, say, 2020s North America?

- sdfghswe 3y agoHe posted an apology because he failed. If he had succeeded we would've said "it was very difficult but it was the right thing to do"
- raverbashing 3y agoExcept you can't really apologize after stabbing someone in the back Sounds more like a regret than anything else
