Seeing big companies take advantage of BSD or MIT licensed projects without sharing their contributions will always pain me. (lemmy.world)

Someone biulds a thing and puts it on the curb in front of his house with a sign:

I had fun building this and learnt a lot. Do with it whatever you want.

Then someone else comes along, takes it, and sells it.
I fail to see how the inventor was taken advantage of. They presumably thought about which license they want to use and specifically chose this one.

It's a little different than that, isn't it? More like: " look at what I built, here's a step by step guide that makes it work. Do with it whatever you want." Some people want to use it for their job. Others might use it for personal use, or to build more open source projects.
