    What is problematic about his open letter?

    I guess the answer to that depends on how one sees proprietary software. I like the free and open source community and this is why I find this letter problematic, to say the least.

    In the first 10 minutes or so of the Revolution OS documentary -which is very old btw- one can get a general overview of this time period.

      I’m foss all the way myself, but I don’t think wanting to be paid for your work is an indicator of some implied amorality or some character failing.

      Especially not 30 years ago, where it was universally expected in the loudest advocate culture for capitalism.

      Oh, thanks for that link, I actually have watched it before, I think I stumbled on it on Reddit somewhere years ago
