So, you got nothing out of your work, but others did.
This also means that there was money that was going around in that particular project, but you chose not to ask for any of it.
Or, at the very least, you saw what was presented to the public.
We call that “single owner business” in my country. A “company”, as the name implies, usually is reserved for an organisation were there are multiple owners or shareholders.
That’s a very big accusation you know… I let that slide earlier since you were also vague about it, but now that you are slinging that accusation as if it is definitively happening, then I’d like to point out that legally and ethically, the word “actively” is not easy to prove. This doesn’t look like hiding:
Saying “actively” doesn’t mean much… you have to prove your claim, as well…
I can. The difference is that the amount of money that other people took was public in that project that you did free work for, whereas in OGS is not.
It doesn’t seem like a very significant difference to me, but maybe that’s just me.
Or they are free to do neither, just like most users of OGS (me included), do.
In a poetic way it really did also highlight the importance of good UI/UX.
