Message: [quote author=Kolya link=msg=137766 date=1610629076] Yeah, that's likely the view that lead most to agree. It's a common view in open source projects. Many companies rely on open source software to create their commercial products. Of course these companies often also support these open source projects, either financially or by contributing to the work. In my company I initiated an ongoing donation program for open source projects that we use. So I'm well aware of that. It's still an uneasy compromise imo because companies aren't forced to contribute to the public good they take from in any way. It's an example of: costs are public but profit is private. None of these mods would have been made if we all acted this way. There would be no forum, no community, no helping each other. The motor that brought us here is public profit. Well that's my view anyway. You don't have to agree, but you benefit from it anyway. [/quote]
