I don’t think volunteers care about ‘large for-profit companies’ much – eclipse is an IBM thing after all. They do care about abusive monopolies and criminal behaviour though – at least sometimes. Comments like that just perpetuate the myth that software volunteers are anti-business and anti-money.
