Non-profit project that gives away expensive stuff to multibillion/trillion dollar companies, for free? I didn't even know that this is a thing. Where can I donate my kidneys?
- anon7000 2y agoWell, to be clear, WordPress.com didn’t exist 20 years ago, nor did Automattic. So this domain wasn’t given away to a billion dollar company, it was given to an open source developer to build a platform to bring more users and exposure to open source software. Which absolutely happened. We’re talking 20 years ago, which is a lot earlier in the story of open source software! All the scandals over the past several years related to companies profiteering off open source software hadn’t happened yet.
