"Open source is the unpaid internship of tech. Itβs often suggested that the problem is best modeled with open source contributors as an underpaid proletariat, but that is wishful thinking: right now, open source contributors are bourgeois dilettantes; before we can talk pie in the sky fantasies about organizing open source as some kind of workersβ cooperative or union, we need to become workers at all."
if you are working on an open source software project i recommend looking into a copyfarleft license like CSL which forbids giant corporations from profiting for free from your hard work
@dankwraith Oof. Can't wait for the inevitable whirlwind of drama if this becomes a bigger thing + all the people missing the point of why there is a problem
the CSL makes it so that only individuals or organizations explicitly organized as worker-owned cooperatives can use your work without asking you for permission
copyleft is a beautiful dream but it is being exploited by late stage capitalism as a source of free labor
