Enough is enough. There is a fine line between willing open source participants, and those that are getting their intellectual property stolen just because they refuse to get on board with the ideology.
Open source is fostering an atmosphere of theft among the general public by training people to expect free software, and to simply take it willfully if it isn't offered for free.
No one would accept this anywhere else in any other industry, and yet here we are in the software industry constantly devaluing innovation.
Do you get free plumbing service? Does Home Depot give you free pipe and supplies and make their money on selling you the tools? Of course not.
It would be an absurd business model.
Like Kraft giving away Kraft dinner, and trying to make a revenue stream selling plates to go with it. Idiotic.
