That is a strawman argument that simply confirms my argumentation.
In the case of the GNU project, that would mean hiring more people just to take care of the paying services, because the current team of staffers is already under water. Yet, they provide gratis services, such as Savannah, LibrePlanet, etc. There is a huge and gratuitous misunderstanding in the free software community about some ideal of purity that involves gratuity. Gratuity, especially in the domain of computing and Internet, usually is a by-product of vast capital that uses it to destroy competition and force it into submission or self-reliance. Unfortunately, as the accent is put on efficiency and quality, i.e. open-source, instead of solidarity, any attempt at including payment or retribution in the free software community is met with gratuitous hostility. == hk -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQJ8BAEBCgBmBQJUgkblXxSAAAAAAC4AKGlzc3Vlci1mcHJAbm90YXRpb25zLm9w ZW5wZ3AuZmlmdGhob3JzZW1hbi5uZXQwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAw MDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwAAoJEEgGw2P8GJg9PdEP/ibst//8oHB2KppPSoXuCidE 67ucckzXO6BxeroAumcuIaIvP5b6sEPmZ38IBWg0NrcgSnYTpr+/koln0kIqQqyl 1wBhhxXwIbBvP3PISX4lg9/VxyySHjUqmkJ75NmPrxobEaB+JsrQqvpkK2T58PGH IL71CyA7O79+0BnDNHkxlBq3wMFVretms8/Pxa1K9O4jQ8kdfp00rgrKabTuE4B9 zCnoZcO0utEwG0T1zjLHszaot+zgpNXg6EaioGkGBjo69lm7BjiaNr1zKm6tAJ8k w+g4/p0Z+5nELmv7bmagt4AemXfJVxraxQGv31tFNApbyo2ki6rSdVMGFkT6xlDY LxlUjpKVXm7MBWVqrKnccLWOmYSybrXWDb1IhnZkPB+buPl8/r3hNPLHFN/9bOv2 dXf8qHFbxAYImXraNeyj70y46uYgkdR2pEq1npT/eOfd9gK/gNN6txwRfI/ZRgLB ZwadUd89AT6dX9BcqYma/rKo/qHBRhPevc/jmmlkCkDGOaFLq5ewG6GTMBect/0R sIPK0mTQ6VbPVSNPLTSIx1vpApatMZNm82Afau0PFM8eX/SyoJb7WuPtVyy+RYTl zWFhn0daRxEScbPhISNxCsUHOfeWFJy/fdYnCIRxT8T7fLXlCdgJQRP9QcRa9acM PE+lbl3XbK1z+AkxVpek =i6K5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.parabola.nu/mailman/listinfo/dev
