In America. America imported unpaid apprenticeships & indentured
servitude (time limited slavery) from Europe/Britain centuries ago.
Britain dumped both Long since. (Germany still has some interns
eg in theatre, last described as a rip off). Condolences that the
"Land of the free" retains medieval European intern practice.
> it is clearly stated that it is a non-paid internship in the post.
Not clear at start. The word "intern" may be clear warning of No
Money in American dialect, but to British eyes, it was a strange
word out of context & ignored.
( Monika Lewinsky news first brought the quaint old fashioned
American word & concept of Intern back across the Atlantic,
but in English, Intern just means certain some workers ).
Posting near end had: "San Francisco"
Posting in final line had: "This is an unpaid position!"
Posting should have started
"USA/ San Francisco - Unpaid job"
to efficiently enable global readership of jobs@ to delete unread,
but American-centric censors of global jobs@ messed up as often,

"more than 2 hours/day"
That's 1/4 or more of a full time job - _Unpaid_ !
No offer of money, food, transport, training courses, books,
hardware to keep. It undermines labour rates for all BSD
workers. The [email protected] censors blocked my polite
post people instead work free for freebsd.org

Managers will read:
"This keen sucker can be kept at Low rates for a Long time".
Better that FreeBSD people work free Not for scrounging commercial
firms & share holder profit, but for charity eg:
FreeBSD development projects & systems admin (eg send-pr
base, (parlay into a job requiring corporate support/ trouble
ticket experience ), FSF, Xorg, Greenpeace, computer
automating a local library, FreeBSD training lectures to
schools, fixing BSD install etc for blind / half blind etc.
Cheers,
Julian
