In order to interpret that one sentence the way you did, you had to:
- divorce it from the context where the software was released as copyleft
- ignore that person getting wealthy must share their source code
- willfully misinterpret "don't get rich" as "get paid nothing"
- presume that money given to some charity is more of a societal good than software
- presume that that the creation of free software "counts for nothing"
But please do continue to abuse me as "incredibly" naive and/or stupid, and make comparisons to "slavery!" It might not feel like a genuine Hacker News discussion if you didn't.
