Yeah unfortunate. At least the first comments there corrected them.

There was some asshole on the threadiverse saying that copy-left licenses weren't open source, since you weren't allowed to profit off the free code.

I say this at the risk of signal posting this regressive view to say that anybody should be allowed to view and learn from software, and benefitting from such work while closing off future access is shitty. Find some other way to make money that doesn't involve freeloading off of someone's contribution to community.

You are allowed to charge for most libre-licensed software, but of course in practice if it's popular enough somebody else will just build it and undercut you.

I do wish there were more institutions funding FOSS work though it can be hard to measure the benefits and progress for individual projects.

Some countries fund it -- QGIS for example is used and developed by governments as an alternative to ESRI products. Maybe there are other examples?

I was using QGIS in work to simplify geometries of US postal code geo jsons and it was an impressive bit of kit. I enjoyed how 2002 it looked, but underneath it was an absolute machine.
