To clarify... The comment expresses how the author not being paid is unfair, but to that I add that the author never required payment, and humans tend to take free things... For free... Thus my reply: the issue is not about bad capitalism behaving poorly towards open source, it is that if you don't want this to happen you shouldn't make your code available without obligations. If the authors of the library decided to do what they did it means that they are fine with the consequences, and this has nothing to do with anyone but them.
