Being compensated for one’s efforts isn’t greed, and for-profit software can also be open-source.
To each their own. It’s a cool project.
I’ve spent a lot of time contributing to OSS, created popular OSS projects, and I felt pretty shitty when I realized other companies were using the software to make money and I hadn’t done anything to ensure I was compensated.
Not at all, I was more speaking to companies that lean heavily on OSS without giving back, which sounds like your experience. Would love to pick your brain sometime if you’re open to sharing any lessons you’ve learned along the way.
