@maegul @socketwench Except for Friedman: "The only priority of a company is to maximize shareholder value.". Most tech company execs follow Friedman at his most toxic. Contributing support to OSS takes money that could go to shareholders, therefore it's forbidden.

They'll fork an OSS project and maintain it privately, with all the costs that entails, rather than see a penny go to supporting it. Yes, IMO they're insane. Sociopathic is the usual diagnosis.
