Gregory's Server@karolherbst I agree, but am extremely pessimistic
My prev job did it twice... bc a local eng manager worked the PO process for a dual license to close it
My curr job was much better in the past (also driven by engineers who have since been let go) but is now the worst. It is nigh impossible to have eng buy non-centralized corp-wide SW at all, let alone put in a product, let alone "bc it's the ethical thing"
It's important to remember that many FOSS idealists are cogs in exploitation machines
@karolherbst it is why I have radicalized to the point of: if you don't want it stolen, don't release it for nothing
If you want money for it, act like shitty shareware or crippleware bc that's the only deal anyone who would actually pay you can understand
Because if it's free, they'll take it
I contribute to FOSS, but do so altruistically. I don't care who else uses it. If I did, I'd quit
I am sympathetic to those who want to make a living, but can only shrug and sigh
