In spite of how much we all benefit from the likes of Google, Apple, Amazon, etc., it's surprising and very disappointing how some (greedy, lazy) open source developers eventually tire of doing large amounts of work for free in order to help these excellent and public-spirited companies (or specifically their executives and shareholders) enjoy massive profits.

It's a shame that so few open source developers seem willing to beg for tips on github, and can't even be bothered to sign up wealthy patrons and donors for their projects, as recommended by this fine article.
