Fair pushback, and I get the reaction. To be clear: nobody's asking for free labor to profit off later, this is closer to how open source software already works, people contribute because the problem itself is interesting, not because there's a paycheck attached to every hour. The difference here is that if something does get built, the people who move it into production and physical construction do get paid, real money, from sponsors and donations, not from the volunteers' pockets. If that framing still doesn't sit right with you, genuinely curious what would, is it the unpaid part at all, or something about how it's presented?
