The Ethics of Unpaid Labor and the OpenSource Software Community
http://t.co/9n0NYu6LCS
Disclaimer: This post is critical of open source software in the context of unpaid labor and the hiring requirements we’ve set up around it. It is not a criticism of open source software itself or the people who participate in it, both of which I and anyone who uses software benefits from. This is work that I - and many of us who do software for a living - also financially benefit from.
tl;dr: I want to see all people fairly compensated for their labor without feeling forced into it; I do not want to see free and open source software stopped.
