Oh, think people should be properly compensated for their labor. And I'm still programming.
But lots of programmers don't get properly compensated. Some by choice, some by external factors.
I'm saying that's a reality. How you feel about other programmers and the choices they make for themselves is up to you.
Clearly there's no obligation to post anything yo public repositories, send the vast majority of programmers never do.
I can’t tell other programmers what to do, nor would I even if I could.
I am merely explaining why I choose not to partake in FOSS when I think it’s exploitive. People are free to disagree, or not care, and that’s obviously fine, but I choose to not directly contribute to it.
