Never ever ever ever ever give your work for free to a startup unless it's running under an open source model that guarantees even if they do go public, all that work remains openly available to everyone!
Nonprofits FTW
Oh, there are plenty of counter examples, unfortunately.
Prominent ones?
Same for everything, including open source models
St Jude's Children Hospital and Goodwill off the top of my head.
I can’t find anything wrong about St. Jude’s.
Everything is bound to have some bad examples. OpenAI and RedHat were also under open source models.
You keep bringing up open source, why? All I did was say that being a non profit isn't as good an indicator as you might think. How does open source factor in it?
I'm saying that even if it's not universal, it's often one of the better indicators.
"Our non profit pays the ceo $1,900,000 a year. Yaaay"
I would not do any unpaid work for anything that was not straight up copyleft.
