    The solution to this is simple. A change to the MIT license to bar .gov projects to use the open source projects.

      Tech bros are only interested in getting the results from open source. They want the free software from their slaves, they aren’t interested in paying anything.

      Tech companies, for a while, added a bit to open source as it was in their own self interest, but they still shut out everything that wasn’t them, they still make the internet in the horrible stonewalled garden that it is today. No account? Half the internet isn’t accessible to you anymore

      Fuck all the big tech and social media companies

      You will never approach the amount they receive from government funding. That is the point.
