Ah, finally, they’re saying the quiet parts out loud:
“Sure, the social angle of working on open source is important and often a very motivating part of the project, but in the end that’s a side benefit, not the _point_ of the project.” – Linus Torvalds

Now do you understand what I mean when I say “free” as in “freedom” versus “open” as in “open for business?”

This bugged me more than the AI stance to be honest. People who use "social warrior" or "SJW" are typically aweful people with shitty ideas on how society should work.
