   "More generally, I believe that #opensource development should return to its roots as a #freesoftware movement guided by moral principles. Doing so would help the open source community set better boundaries, which would in turn improve software quality, funding, and working conditions. Without a moral center to give developers a spine, they’ll continue to race to the bottom to please corporate interests."

      in reply to
      gabriella's article at https://www.haskellforall.com/2021/12/funding-isnt-problem-with-open-source.html is quite insightful
      one could sum it up as "the problem with open source is open source and its amoral, unprincipled stance; let's go back to free software ethics"
