        Lately it’s been companies using liberal licenses to build their product up really fast and then doing a rig pull bcz “oh no we can’t have competition!”.

        But it’s also from the user perspective… Freedom to not pay a lonely dev that’s been coding on the project for “fun” or “for the community” for 15 years.

        I love free software, but if y:all want it to succeed you need to support the devs!

      Not necessarily, no. There are a plethora of non-profit services and pages on the net.

      What platform do you think you used to write that commeent?

      Regarding platforms of for-profit companies, you are more right than wrong though.

        Oh I was referring to for profit. Should have specified. I’m used to using that when meta screws over their users.
