Yep, you sure are. You also can’t stop someone from forking it and giving it away for free. See: Red Hat Enterprise Linux and AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, etc.
Money in open source is one of the biggest hurdles to it becoming the norm. IMHO, governments should fund more open source projects and fund them at higher levels. We have art grants because art improves society, and we should have an equal or higher amount of open source grants because open source improves society too.
You’re clearly not under enough pressure. Maybe a gambling addiction would help.
I’m an open source developer who’s put thousands of hours of work into my open source projects.
I get wanting to use open source software. I want to use open source software. I want to write open source software. I do write open source software. But please understand that I only do that because I enjoy it. I also need to pay the bills, and there’s not much money in writing open source software.
If you value an open source project, especially if it’s just a small development team that doesn’t sell anything, please donate to them.
Right now, I run an email service, https://port87.com/, and it is technically closed source. But it’s built on my open source projects, Svelte Material UI, Nymph.js, and Nephele. Probably about 70% of the code that makes up Port87 is open source, and if you use Port87, you’re helping me continue to develop those open source projects. So even if you don’t donate to open source projects, there are other ways to contribute. Support companies who support open source projects.
You’d be fine. Your blood wouldn’t even be boiling yet.
I’m an American. Can you please translate this into either football fields or parking lots?

Yeah, get fucked, Seattle!
The man has absolutely no taste. His only thought is “must appear rich”.
Give it time. Once Fortran was king.
I too cannot possibly think of wanting to be something that no American has become yet. :P
I don’t know if the answer is silent protest profile pics. I think a better solution is more people getting into self hosting and ditching big tech reliance.
I hope the rehired workers get a higher salary than they had before.
Fair enough. I do think your goals are noble, so I hope you can find what you’re looking for.
I don’t think you’ll be able to find a project that doesn’t contain some code (like dependencies) hosted on GitHub.
I understand not wanting to use GitHub yourself, but not wanting to use a self-hosted software that is distributed through GitHub is kind of extreme.
I think this will soon be required by the Trump administration, so they’re just getting ahead of the curve.
They feel duped because they were duped. (By the most obvious con man in history.)
I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted. What you said is true.
