Countering a criticism of how Amazon interacts with the projects it uses to drive a large section of its profit with "don't dimish the work FOSS maintainers!" absolutely is a spin. Or some other bad-faith behaviour. It sure as hell isn't a meaningful engagement with the core issues, is it?

> There are people that work for Amazon that work on FOSS projects out of the goodness of their heart

So they work for free then?

Didn't think so.

They just have a job they like. That's great. But lots of people have jobs they like. And lots of people work on weekends. But don't try to spin this as an act of altruism, because it's not.
