@sue@glasgow.social Didn’t Free Software explicitly include „yes, this allows making money from it!“ from the start?
(but this is a problem I see in a lot of idealistic projects. When I suggested donating to a Linux distro I was using so the existing devs could go full-time, the thread about that got so deeply derailed that it never got anywere. Including „but that would skew incentives!“ when there were devs working for corporations pushing their requirements but no one paid by the community)

@sue@glasgow.social That said: I like it when people spend their free time to build tools for everyone instead of sitting colluding with other rich people how to squeeze more money out of society. They could also use their privilege to harm society purely for their own benefit. 2/2
