Most people don’t realize it, but many of the devices and apps you use every day are built on top of open source software, maintained by one or two developers that aren’t paid for their time, who patch bugs and improve their code to give back to the community or as a passion project.

      The part that really stuck out to me was where companies started calling the developer of cUrl demanding he fly out to their sites to fix their stuff just because they downloaded his software. So many companies are making so much off open source software, almost none of them donate, and then some of them even have the gall to demand open source devs function as free auxiliaries to their enterprises
