I've been a big fan of free software for a while but I really don't know how to reconcile the fact that a good number of big names in the space are like really shitty people

#like Mat from automatic is a big free software proponent suposadly?#not to mention the literal founder of the movement who i cant remember the name of for some reason #like i think the four freedoms are good #but like creating software isnt exactly free #and if a big company is profiting off of code that you spent a lot of time working on it feels to me to be a bit exploitative #especially if they dont contribute upstream #idk i think the primagens interview w/ automatic mat has given me brainworms or something #i thibk what we need is communist software licensing
