Great thread. Since DeOldify was mentioned on there I will say this: There's a lot of social pressure to open source everything but the fact is that artificial scarcity (not giving away everything for free) gives you a chance to actually make money on your code most directly.https://twitter.com/EmilWallner/status/1278321048346341379 …

I may or may not have used it back in the day, but I think Napster may have been what culturally poisoned a lot of thinking about content on the internet that bled into how people think about open source.

(cont) So yeah I can see the connection going from that to a more generalized "hey, everything should be free! because...something something and information wants to be free!" I personally think a lot of it is a half-assed philosophy used to justify wanting free shit.

I also think the ANGER expressed at some OSS devs (been lucky I haven't seen this for RAPIDS [that I'm aware of]) but comments like "fix yer shit" over some esoteric bug in a huge years-old project is the logical conclusion of this entitlement.
