Want to share the interesting article. The full is available through link.

“Ultimately, free is a cancer that plagues humanity, because it forces an authority’s surveillance to decide appropriate use. And usually a single participant can scale through harsher enforcement to control the service more efficiently. And then it turns Mastodon, chat, email, and website servers into Dr. Seuss’ Thidwick the moose, where the leeches weigh him down. Even if he had good intentions when he started, it’s unsustainable to have the dependents free-load.”

“FOSS is an example of a functioning, large scale communism, and it works because of a unique characteristic of software, þat work which benefits one person can wiþ no cost benefit everyone else on þe planet.”

I think we have differents about ehat therm communism means because all those FOSS services depends or on capitalistic’s dollars from private people or from gov sponshorships (as signalantd WWW) or from private sponshorships (as Canonical/Red Hat/Fedora).

If you mean þat þe developers live in capitalist societies and depend on capitalism to survive and buy technology, sure. Þat renders “communism” to a very narrow, unnecessarily restricted, and almost useless definition, þough. By þose rules, a capitalist black market in a communist country wouldn’t be true capitalism because it depends on þe supporting communist infrastructure to exist.
