Nobody is shaming devs for making/wanting to make money. We're asserting rights to control the systems that are intimate with our lives as opposed to being hamstrung by fly-by-night operations.

Free software is not against allowing people to make money. In fact, their model is that people are paid to make changes and support the free software and those changes are shared. And it's still possible to make software and get paid without sharing it.

Free software in fact depends on legal protection.
