"You call it sour grapes and then describe how someone is stealing something of value."
This is absurd, and this is just circular. I feel like many of the open source arguments, particularly GPL-based, are predicated on detached bullshit.

When something doesn't have a precise dollar value attached to it, does it not quality as stealing?
It is less obvious because its not as directly and easily measurable when a direct dollar sign is put on a product. The same feeling happens when big tech builds huge profit machines using something a person made and gave away as a cog without contributing back. Or when AWS takes something like Elasticsearch and hosts it for profit - Elastic co. sure thought they were stealing.
You call it sour grapes and then describe how someone is stealing something of value. Was Elastic's response to AWS also sour grapes?
