> treating “pay me if you get paid for my code” licenses as treated as evil and shameful
Blatantly untrue. Companies riding the coattails of the opensource moniker for PR points while using restrictive licenses is what garners all the hate. It's essentially fraud committed to garner good press.
The other thing that gets people riled up is companies with a CLA that they claim is for responsible stewardship suddenly pulling a fast one and relicensing the project to a non-OSI license. It's perfectly legal but it tends to upset people.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with source available software at any level of restriction. Just be very clear about what it is and isn't.
