“Open source” is broken
I'm the author in question. I'm not against open source, I'm against the culture of taking without giving back.

Nobody is taking anything. You provide code for $0 and then get surprised that people pay $0 to use it. Can you see anything wrong with this picture?

You are against open source if you view using code as “taking”.
