Selling support/services as the maintainer of an open-source service was never a hard-nosed business proposition in the first place. It's like Amazon undercutting your fire station's bake sale.

Yeah, I'm genuinely concerned that members of society can't seem to understand this.

More and more people are just focused on making a quick buck.

I'm getting a feeling that these people would gladly rip off a lemonade stand, and then defend themselves by saying the lemonade stand deserves it.

This is such a good analogy, thank you!
