alekun··on TinyPilot: Month 11
1. Creating an ansible role is not contributing.

2. > PiKVM seems to have an odd contingent of fans who have taken it upon themselves to pop up whenever people are discussing TinyPilot to claim that I'm exploiting Maxim.

no, people speak-up when they see injustice, thank you for the free insult.

alekun··on TinyPilot: Month 11
> Instead of buying the hardware from me, they simply built their own devices. And because the software has a permissive open-source license, they were free to use it in their company without paying me anything.

> This is an extremely common problem in open-source. An open license helps people discover your product and encourages them to use it, but it also allows big corporations to profit from your work while offering nothing in return.

in the same way you do not contribute back to https://pikvm.org but you make profit from it

> It is my code… sort of. The freelancers who work on TinyPilot sign a contract saying that I own the intellectual property of code they contribute, but I also have accepted a handful of contributions from volunteer developers. My understanding is that developers who contributed free code technically co-own the copyright to TinyPilot’s code with me.

> I released TinyPilot under the MIT license because it gives me flexibility as well. I think I can “fork” the code myself into a different license and just say that it also uses MIT-licensed code, but I’m not totally sure how that works.

again, not true. Your code is based on someone else code, https://pikvm.org and you are making profit from it without contributing.
