This is Jehan Pages, the top developer behind GIMP, a free open source photo editor. Adobe executives hate Jehan. Because of his hard work, Adobe lost millions of dollars (lemmy.world)

But it does take money away in other ways. I use GIMP for work which could easily pay for Adobe if I asked them. We just don't need to since we aren't doing any high-demand tasks.

Why are they entitled to it?

[–] Donkter@lemmy.world -2 points 2 days ago (2 children)

They're not? They don't have to be entitled to something to lose money on it.

Im talking about money. If the money isn't theirs they can't lose it. You can't lose money that isn't yours.
