      Exactly why I left that company.

      Specifically free (libre) licences, as permissive licences allow corporations to improve/adapt the software without contributing back to the community.

      I only work on software with GPL compatible licences now.

      And open source software is explicitly anti-capitalist.

        free software is. open source is an attempt to sell free software out to capitalist interest.

        eric raymond and the OSI are not good.

          There are many forms of free and/or open source software.

              Yeah, I guess the original statement was too broad, but any FOSS using a GPL license effectively is. I guess not anti-capitalist though, but un-capitalist. It doesn’t try to remove capitalism, it tries to be seperate from it.
