You are free to hate and free not to use such a product.

The truth is that many developers have taken the high road, and done the right thing, and they have been unable to make a living out of their open source efforts.

I hate that the ecosystem is so weak the OP has to resort to this model, but I have nothing but sympathy for the OP.

+1, Parent comment comes off as devs owe others anything labeled “open source” but OP is not selling open source — it’s software that’s been paid for, made public.

The whole entitlement that devs and companies have around open source drives me crazy.
