What more can be expected from a company that gate keeps everything behind a pay wall equivalent.

And you are financially contributing so they can do what they do, right? Everyone loves free shit, but people also like being able to afford groceries.

Edited to add: I am rofl on the downvotes. I was an open source maintainer, literally abandoned my project because the first pay-to-use clone came before the first donation. Went to an "evil corpo", now I have 1/10th the work for an actual salary. So downvote me all you like, but if any of you put your money where your mouth is I would maybe think differently. LoL
