I am quite thankfull that thanks to unethical software I am able to pay my bills, instead of being like a street art performer hoping to get enough coins at the end of the day.

I was also a dreamer once upon a time, with M$ on my email signature and all that zealot attitude, then I had to support myself and face the reality that most supermarkets don't take pull requests.

Maybe that's because supermarkets would think a "pull request" is just shoplifting?

Many open source projects are written by people who are paid to do so. Just because you couldn't do it doesn't mean it's not possible.

From companies whose main business is selling unethical software.

Naturally I am not counting those, given that they are paid in tainted money as per OP's complaint.

I don't think GPL cares where the money is coming from - we're talking about closed/open source, not ethical business models. If we did, we'd have to also go over unfettered free markets and capital flow.

[pjmlp]

FOSS and GPL aren't exactly the same thing.

We are surely talking about ethics,

> Closed-source software is unethical regardless of any of your unsubstantiated claims on its or open-source software's security.

And in that regard, there is also something to talk about regarding some prominent figures in open-source world.

Oh, DHH? Not sure how his xenophobic ramblings have anything to do with this...

If it was only one.
