@evanEvan Prodromou There are social expectations that people have for how to be careful and neighborly.
Encoding those as laws/rules is challenging & leads to HOAs and spite-houses & stumbles across individual norms and environmental factors.

I maintain open-source; I /volunteer/ my time & energy as a service.

Corporations are amoral entities with large financial power. And tend to operate w/rules designed to discourage civic engagement & reward exploitative behavior. They should be forced to contribute.
