Linux would hardly gotten where it is without the contributions from everyone getting paychecks from IBM, Intel, Oracle, NVidia, AMD, Apple, Sony, Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Huawei, Samsung among many others.

Which is kind of ironic, hate them, but then willing accepting whatever comes from them, 'cause hey it is free.

You could also say that Google wouldn't have gotten anywhere without Linux, as they really depended on lots of cheap hardware and software. Humans are connected, which is a great thing (that what makes us human).

Sure, I guess hating them today, and tomorrow gladly accepting whatever they release 'cause its gratis, is also human behaviour.

They certainly can do good things and even change.

What is schizophrenic is having a community that hates big corporations, but happily takes anything they decide to offer,

There are many conflations in these statements of yours, but one of the more offensive is that corporations are responsible for an individual's open-source contributions because that individual draws a paycheck for something else. What's the corporate equivalent of a bootlicker? An NDA-licker?

What I don't get is how someone can hate companies like Oracle, wish that they would disapeer out of the face of the earth, and at the same time jump of joy when a couple of lines get added to the Linux kernel, by the corporation they want to nuke.

if they offer it under gpl, it's no poison chalice. why do i care who does the right thing? what's good is good.

i would be more worried when they propose that we all abandon this adequate gpl tool for this permissive licensed code they seriously didn't write, but here's ten fantastic contributions they made.

It is not about being a posion chalice, rather the attitude of wanting to nuke company X, while accepting whatever it gives as gratis contributions.

I only see that among FOSS folks, seldom among other kinds of activism.

Because of the nature of the GPL. You don't get those guarantees in most other forms of activism.
