If you have a problem with maintainers getting paid then you have a problem with me and I suggest you let that one marinate.
  1. No, but I mean it IS possible to take steps against and live outside capitalism while inside capitalism is possible. It’s a grayscale, not “all or nothing”.
  2. Meaning, that open source not being paid is not inherently outside capitalism.
  3. Yeah, sure is. But they are crowd sourced paymemts, instead of corporate payments.

I think we are agreeing with each other: life is not black and white and puritans want to make it.
