That's great for you, but its the reason that vast swathes of corporate folks use OSS, and they are terrible citizens of it as well.

- anbardoi 3y agoYou know, I often wonder if I'll ever receive an encouraging or somewhat kind response on this forum. That's probably a lot to ask from the internet in general. But could you elaborate on what reason you mean? You mean learning how the software works, or just because it's free?
- gertop 3y agoYou said the reason you're using open source isn't because you don't want to pay for software. He's saying the reason corporations use open source IS that they don't want to pay for software, as OP said.
- hobs 3y agoThis is what I am saying, no hate on people doing the right thing but most of the corporations love that they can take and give nothing back, its their highest ideal.
- anbardoi 3y agoAhhh okay makes sense. Yeah its truly grotesque. But money is a different kind of game. They see OSS as low hanging fruit. Idk if licenses like GPL would keep them at bay, but I think it might be an avenue more OSS developers should go down
