Glad this happened to be honest. Software shouldn’t be free.

  Gosh. I'd better stop work on my open source project immediately then.

  Bet you also think it's sensible to fine people for feeding the homeless?

    This is an unacceptable comment for Hacker News. Just because you strongly disagree with this person on software funding doesn't give you any reason assume they disagree with...feeding the homeless?
    • beeboobaa 3y ago
      Not sure what you're on about. It's actually illegal to feed the homeless in certain American cities and you can get fined for doing so. This is called an analogy.

  Software should be free(dom) er properly paid and professional. But please no freeware or ad crazy software

  Care to elaborate on this (honestly wild) take?

    There’s too much abuse of free software by either individuals or big tech. Its not sustainable
    • fsflover 3y ago
      Any example (preferably with GPL)?
    • andybak 3y ago
      I'm really not clear what you're arguing so it's hard to work out if I disagree or not. Have you considered maybe writing slightly longer sentences?

  Alternatively, greedy corporation shouldn't earn money off someone's free work.

  Do you mean you use no open source software? Or you mean that software should not be free for other people, but it's okay when it's free for you?
