Companies will continue to support abusers, like Linus, as long as it's profitable for them.
I appreciate the sentiment and think each should contribute as required by their conscience. But, what if we find out that not paying abusers is a major productivity hit?

I'm fine with that. If you think one abuser is worth 50 or 100 contributors then I won't be apart of it and won't help out either. I'd much rather go to a community that didn't support/prop up abusers, let alone serial and damn proud of it abusers like Linus.

That's fair. I don't support this. I merely note that leadership of some of the world's most successful large software projects seem to have often fit into this pattern. I find that interesting and wish I understood more of the causes and effects.
