I was reminded that most people outside the software industry have no idea that today, the world runs on top of free and open-source software. They're convinced that "nothing is free" "because capitalism". It's like some of those immigrants from communist countries who believe that selfishness is a requirement of capitalism...
Note that I'm not particularly advocating for the exploitation of free software authors, only stating facts.
@mjambon Agreed - many reasons including ourselves that do need things to do and do wind up doing it for free even though born into needing money, so being exploited either way it seems and only hope is the "free" way can help defend freedom or play it's part before more money encroaches and sells out / hollows out / takes the soul out of everything in it's wake...
