>but it seems very cheap for companies that profit billions of dollars yearly to only donate $25k to projects and foundations that support part of the software backbone of their infrastructure.. That's the free rider problem, one that the GPL (and the AGPL) was designed to avoid. It's true that many of those companies which use FreeBSD wouldn't touch a GPL codebase (and all the more so an AGPL codebase), but that't the point - while some chose FreeBSD because it's fast/stable (NF and WhatsApp), others chose it because they don't have to contribute back. |
