What a bunch of communists!
It is open source....you can use it for anything you want.
People have incorporated open source code into their projects and used it for their business needs, thereby, making money from it.
Is there some pledge by everyone with access to open source material not to use it for something that makes money?
Hell, even governments have taken open source code and used it for surveillance, tracking hackers, etc.
But I am sure these commie coders are just fine with that.
Communists are fine with taking other people’s code - they just don’t want any capitalists using their own. :)
MS is stealing others' code without giving credit.
You know, like we do here on FR--we give credit to the proper authors/sources/websites/etc.
It is quite frowned upon here to plagiarize/steal columns and ideas.
Even Elon Musk uses ‘open source’ for his Star Link ... and then violates the open source protocol and hides most of its code. To use any flavor of linux an outfit must agree to ‘open source’ it all. Most outfits - NOT doing that.
