        we can’t. but we can impose boundaries to corporations destroying our entire work for a few bucks.

        open source doesn’t mean pushover to capital. read the GPL if you want to get an idea how we do this the proper way.

        I’m gonna take a shot and guess you’ve never run infrastructure in your life if you can’t differentiate between a product covered by a license and a service offered as a courtesy.

        What? This isn’t about hiding the code and making it unavailable. It’s saying that they don’t need to pay for some very profitable corporation to use obscene amounts of their bandwidth.

        Basically it’s you get so many downloads before your throttled and deprioritized. Don’t download the same thing hundreds of times over and over everyday.
