Another opinion about how it's OK for mega-corps to reap the benefits of opensource without contributing back and how we should just suck it up because of principles.

I understand he's a big contributor to ansible and other IaC, and most (all?) of his stuff is opensource. It's cool that he has the money to sustain himself and that he can stick to his principles with the money he has, but IMO either he lacks empathy or understanding for those in a place trying to make a living from opensource or in his opinion companies just can't be trusted with opensource if they have a CLA.

He's entitled to his opinions, but I don't share them.

I don't really understand the connection between the blog post and your comment. Could you expand on the connection between his stance against CLAs and your paraphrase about mega-corps and how we should "suck it up because of principles"?
