A bunch of people who make era-defining software for free. A labor of love.

Another bunch of people who make era-defining software where they extract everything they can. From customers, transactionally. From the first bunch, pure extraction (slavery, anyone?).

Anyone comparing normal adulthood stuff to slavery needs to spend some time reading some history books.
