I went to the site hoping to see forums discussing the commercialisation of OSS. Ya know, how to make enough money so you can afford to do this as a day job.<p>There is a pretty quiet section on funding, pretty low down. Not much there.<p>First forum though (organised by category) is how not to sign a CLA [1].<p>The thread seems determined that no contribution should be made to a project that ends up going commercial.<p>I feel this is the subtle underlying theme in too many OSS discussions. Not just the overt "free as in freedom", but also the covert idea that "free means non commercial".<p>I say covert, because of course the FSF manifesto specifically says you can sell free software. You're not even limited to selling your own software, you can sell -anyones- free software.<p>Which leads a developer to a place where they like something enough to want to contribute something to the project, but at the same time add limits to the project -now- to give them fewer options in the future.<p>If a project disappoints you, sure, fork it then. If you don't want people to profit from your free labor, then simply don't give it. And if you don't want to sign a CLA then don't sign it.<p>(I expect this comment won't age well as the front page of the site changes :)<p>[1] <a href="https://discourse.writefreesoftware.org/t/anti-cla-action-what-to-do-when-you-encounter-a-cla/226/1" rel="nofollow">https://discourse.writefreesoftware.org/t/anti-cla-action-wh...</a>
