I agree with your points btw
replyOSS developers driven by something else than just money I believe. They are proud of their work of giving something to the community with their name on it. So such respect as giving free subscription to them I think matters, as they were mentioned and respected.

replyAnd then Anthropic (and others) comes along, files off the name, and repackages that gift to sell to someone else for money. That’s not respectful.
the pride aspect is gone though
replyeven if you've got an outstanding project, now everyone has to wade through no much noise it'll never be found
no, I'm not against them to be paid by Anthropic too. But this symbolic action is also cool and respectful imo
replyNah, I know open source devs that would rather tax these companies into paying actual open source devs.
replyMaybe get out of your SVG bubble and realize that people don't like companies that rat fuck the commons for a quick buck. It's disgusting.
There should be a penny tax per prompt that funds open source development through grants.
