To expose places where people work thanklessly guaranteeing someone’s pretty thankful bottom lines? Working for free isn’t altruism, it’s hurting other workers. For example.

  FOSS has nothing to do with working for free. A freeware program author can work for free and not touch FOSS. A FOSS project can be developed only by people paid wages for that.
