 @425a31b8 FOSS: settled this a decade ago!

What is FOSS?

FOSS means Free and Open Source Software. It doesn’t mean the software is free of cost. It means that the software's source code is open for all and anyone is free to use, study and modify the code. This principle allows others to contribute to developing and improving a software like a community.

 @425a31b8 Hobbyists love open source and want to see it thrive because it makes a better society and it feels good to help people.

Capitalism sees open source as externalized costs and only cares about the money. It is the snake that will eat its own tail. Growth Now > Anything.
