The discourse on FOSS is getting depressing again. The free rider problem is real, and corporations *should* pay up.
But many counter-responses drift towards intellectual restrictions law maximalism, which as it turns out helps large corporations more than anyone...
I have written two articles about this previously:
Noncommercial Doesn't Compose (and it never will): https://dustycloud.org/blog/noncommercial-doesnt-compose/
What should fit in a FOSS license?: https://dustycloud.org/blog/what-should-fit-in-a-foss-license/

@cwebber I dunno. i think the idea of freeloaders is kinda short sighted from a dev standpoint, When i say free I mean free, I am happy for corporations to use my work and to thrive and expect nothing in return. Thats not why we (or at least me) do it. If I wanted tit-for-tat id sell my stuff.
