As crass as Rob was, he'd never get to post here on HN.

Keep that in mind while you get rich off the back of his work, YC.

I think he's pointing out that many (most? all?) unicorns are built atop open source software that only exists because of a significant counter-cultural struggle that happened in the 80s and 90s.

I still remember when the idea of running a free software stack was considered deeply weird.
