What do they feel? What about being thankful for being a revenue stream, it allows us to work on more free (as in beer) and open source developer tools

It's almost like paying for an operating system should somehow be the payment itself.

I'm not saying that this is a good revenue model nor that I support it.

I'm saying that employees of a company probably don't antagonize the others like that.

Seems similar to being thankful that the mafia’s criminal acts help fund its philanthropy in the community.

Its not free if we sell out with our data and attention.
