I agree, and then they set up a price. Piracy is especially bad when you’re pirating from a particular person. But not all developers have that “I made it and I will charge them the maximum equilibrium out of it” mindset. That’s where “free” part of FOSS began. Do you think that it’s unfair to use things which someone published for everyone to use? |

What I don't agree is the expectation to be paid, while refusing to pay other developers for their work.
Even the gratis stuff I use, back in the early FOSS days I bought CDs and magazines that distributed the software, the few times I went to FOSDEM the full volunteer package, nowadays books written by community members and occasional donations on stuff I use regularly.
So it is just not empty words about what is right.
