Great article. That final F sentiment is EXACTLY what the open source world needs. There's too many free loaders and mega-corp vampires taking advantage of peoples' free time. Some of this is beginning to feel slave-like. Billions in profits and vast fortunes are all on the backs of unpaid maintainers (slaves) toiling nights and weekends (cheap labor). And I'm just as much of the problem...Not giving back (financially or in other ways) makes you a douchebag and most of us are in that boat.
