I get pretty angry by those type of people.
„Open source and free*” asterisk for „until I get traction or VC money”.
That’s bait and switch and riding on community good will.
- bravetraveler 1y agoWith enough social media, anything is possible - Mullenweg, or some other hack
- skinnymuch 1y agoSociety is bait and switch. You have to pay for rent and food/necessities or you’ll die/rot on the street while every politically illiterate person and the structures and institutions of society exclaim how amazing and freedom loving liberal democracy and capitalism is
- cylemons 1y agoThe dev cannot remove the older opensource versions, so the community is always free to fork those
- ozim 1y agoBut with this you create another bunch of people like the guy in original article. Is free fork enough or people should get paid? Does that project owner hire some of people from community, what about ones left out?
- cylemons 1y agoThing is the original owner has to have fast paced development and add new features or else people would stick to the open source version. So its not just free publicity
