There's nothing wrong with volunteering with a FOSS project

Framework is not a FOSS project, it's not a charity or a non-profit organization, it's a company. Would you volunteer to work for free at your job?

I do volunteer for open hardware projects, yes.

Its both. And there's nothing wrong with volunteering for it

[-] Baleine@jlai.lu 3 points 2 months ago

I wouldn't blame a volunteer but I think its wrong for for-profit companies to ask for non remunerated work

There's nothing wrong with them asking

There is something wrong if they make demands

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
