    Frame 3 actually is:

    “Thanks for your work of love and passion and curiosity, and freely contributed open source software, I like it! With the help of amassed capital power, I’m going to blanket the market until my new company’s name is all anyone can think of when they mention your previously free and fun hobby and are happy to subscribe to my monthly fee and privacy invasion of users which allows me to further monitor the efforts and contributions of others.”

      That is why (A)GPL and not MIT/BSD, that is why no CLA.

      I don’t understand why so many open source devs just gift their work and time to big corporations by choosing permissive licenses or signing away their contributions via CLA.

        Bruh, genuinely same. I love FreeBSD and OpenBSD, but I loathe the license for it.

        I ain’t never giving my shit to a billionaire to allow them to make something proprietary.
