CONGRATULATIONS! You’re a true Open Source Hippie!
Your profile:
Hey man, got some code? Paying for good software isn’t so common in the 11111100011 community of Open Source Hippies. They see code as common property that should be returned to the community. It’s not as far-fetched as it sounds at first – after all, many people work on lots of projects, like Kubernetes, on a voluntary basis. How can you put a price tag on them? Exactly! But anyone who believes only a few software purists stuck in the 1960s think the open source idea is appealing is in for a shock. There are Open Source Hippies in many companies, even some Forbes 500 companies have found a certain joy in making their internally used products available to the world out there. For free. This may run counter to the basic capitalist idea, but only as long as you don’t offer a paid support model…
