Why isn't it a great thing for FOSS? It is what FOSS is, and FOSS is in a pretty great place right now.


Is it? Which part of the FOSS ideology or principles says that it's about doing things in your free time that you don't get paid for?


A movement is much larger than just the ideals or principles that have been written down. I was talking about it as it is, not as it claims to be.


Well, then, you claim FOSS is in a great place. Is it really?

SOME of it is, sure. The big successful projects.

But what about the rest of it?
