I absolutely hate this capitalistic view of Open Source, the saying "We do whatever we want, it's Open Source anyway".
This leads to philosophies like "Let's rewrite this entire thing our way, and put some marketing on it, this will destroy the previous project and deny the work of all its contributors, but hey, it's Open Source".
Or even "Let's take this entire project, add our brand, put some glitter and marketing on it, and sell it, without giving any fucks to its maintainers".
Hate them.
