FOSS will always be incompatible with capitalism. There is no incentive for the capitalist class to pay for the open source they consume.
Wrong. In example Valve is putting money and work into FOSS. AND they make money of it and rely on it. Even Microsoft does contribute to Open Source, believe it or not, even is one of the top sponsors for Linux.
The pittance that most of these companies do contribute is in no way a fair share of the profits they reap from using FOSS.
Valve is an exception to the rule.
You're arguing that the factory owner giving a few bucks to someone who produced a tool that improved productivity of the factory is somehow a just compensation.
