I hear you. But it takes the will and dedication to do it, so it’s really not a life sentence to offer a proprietary service free of charge. Hopefully the people who need it most can find a better alternative.

The “free” in FOSS stands for free like freedom, not free like air

FOSS projects cost time and money. Non-profits still need money. Not sure why everyone thinks everything should be free of monetary charges on the internet.

Am am not sure what the situation of opensubtitles is. Is it just barely covering costs? Or turning a profit? I have no idea. But i do hate how everyone thinks they’re entitled to free work and free hosting costs of every website on the internet

Uhhhhh. The article you linked says nothing about “free as in air”, which is the term you used. And thats the only reason i used it

Free as in speech or free as in freedom are the english similes to express the idea of libre

Free air or free beer are gratis. Without monetary cost.

Free software is always libre and sometimes gratis
