Comment It's fine as long as people know what they do (Score 1) 1452
There are hobbyists/artists that will see coding for free as an expression of their belief and an efficient way to kill time.
There are those that will see this as a business that can generate profit/wages.
Being someone looking to found a niche and independent IT company and develop through amassing talented programmers (whose criteria I use will only be interest, skills and character), I have no problem with both kinds. (It will be all fine as long as people have some programmer's logic and don't mix them up, otherwise lawsuits will be the only output)
