it’s time to reassert the value of software developed in an open collaboration. Everything else is proprietary. Everything else is a relicensing time bomb.
That’s an unnecessarily strong reaction. Money clearly matters for some things. But that’s not all that matters. There are many people releasing FOSS without any financial expectations. Clearly, money doesn’t matter to those people on that context. Trying to argue that “money should matter also for those people on that context” doesn’t make too much sense to me. Nobody is forcing anybody to release FOSS.

Yeah, you’re missing the point and I don’t know how to bring it across. It’s best we end this here as it’s going nowhere.
