> Permissive opensource licensing that lets companies extract infinite value while giving nothing back
Why is this categorised as a "broken system"? I keep seeing this written about OSS, and it's just not true. I can choose to volunteer at a charity, and I can choose to sign a contract and get a day job. The charity is not extracting infinite value from me; I chose to do work for no recompense.
And, just to drive the point home about the ignorance of the people that peddle this sort of thing, why is the estimated value of this code "infinite"?
A follow up interview with Robin Grell after his story blew up on Hacker News. Focuses on his work in opensource, what Enigo is, and why input simulation is so important right now.
