Oh, catch yourself. Tell me you wouldn't do the same for your family.

I run a tiny thing that a lot of people like. Its licence is permissive: if I 'sold out', nobody who is using it today would have to change a damned thing.

And you know what? Call me if you wanna buy it. Because here's my priority list:

1. Looking after my family.

2. Looking after yours.

That justification isn't as commenable as you frame it.

The same biological impulse fuels the rampant nepotism and open corruption we seem to selectively whinge about online these days.

Lol, this is like the fourth time you've edited your comment which started as 1. Mine / 2. Yours. Take it easy, the crowd isn't going to come down hard on you.

There's nothing wrong with making money, I'm 100% all-in on capitalism.

It's just the sudden change in attitude, particularly when people jump to the polar opposite they've preached their whole lives. Some say it's wise to change your mind, I just find it repulsive.

Did he preach open source all his life? He seems to have been a long time open source builder who has also previously sold a project.
