"#OpenSource is a restaurant."
"...At a restaurant, you eat your meal first, and then you are expected to pay for it. Yes, we could dine and dash. But we don’t. When presented with a tab for a meal we have just eaten, we pay the tab."

@davidbisset An interesting take. As I read these lines “I’m not saying we should tip Open Source projects. I’m saying we should pay our bill. If some companies want to tip extra, more power to them.” ... I wonder if the ambiguity of the bill is a barrier. The fact that there's not a "price" for, say, a company of X size/revenue that uses one self-hosted WordPress install for a year makes it all very squishy.
At a restaurant, someone brings a bill with a number on it.
