Just because you don't care does not mean others should not care, even if they are less valuable coders than you.

I mostly contribute by finding issues and reporting them, does that make me less of a OSS contributor than you?

And yet I do care if my private project is used by behemoth like Microsoft without my consent, even if it's only poorly written fizzbuzz. Why? because if I wanted to share it I would publish.



I was answering the questions “Are you saying you don't care about the copyright of your own work either? Or you don't care because you don't publish your work OSS?”

Feel free to care.
