I already donate to OSS, but I hope you're enjoying being an unpaid volunteer spokesperson for defending multi-million dollar tech companies.

It is more damning that a company cannot afford $50, but you're not even getting paid for the free work for your time defending them.

If that is what you choose to do, that's fine, but for people working in OSS with companies depending on their work get nothing.

This is what is wrong with the world today.

I defend their right to private property because I have the same rights to my own property. As you have to your own.

Well I hope you're not expecting a medal from your valiant and tireless defending of these corporations, the medal budget is already spent on this distro.

Keep "fighting the good fight" for free I guess...
