Gregory's ServerI can't believe I'm looping all the way back around to "permissive open source is actually good and we should actually be MORE AGGRESSIVE about it, to continue undercutting corporate products"

Contributing to the commons, a commons where others contribute for our benefit as well, is not the same as plain old labor. I'm starting to feel like trying to apply the "labor" lens to open source development is itself a problem that's pulling us in the wrong direction. |
maybe trying to jam capitalist concerns ("how do we pay for all this labor?") is always just going to be incoherent vs reality.
Maybe the focus needs to be "what are we doing for the commons which gives _us_ stuff for free?" and stop worrying about whether we're "paid fairly"?
