There's a tax every time you need to read someone's pleading showerthought and close it because you don't have the time or don't care to do it. You still have to read it all, you still get annoyed by it all. Unless you're a total emotional robot none of it is actually free.

It is also interesting that I'll get downvoted and criticized for wanting to run my own project this way. As the first sentence of the linked note puts it:

> The only people entitled to say how open source 'ought' to work are people who run projects, and the scope of their entitlement extends only to their own projects.

Lots of people out there seem to want to force me to collaborate with the world, for my own good, not just open my source code up for use. All I want to do is limit collaboration on my own solo free-as-in-beer project.
