  • there is plenty open source software, that you can buy. There are many modes:

    • you buy the support (redhead)
    • you buy the long-term-support (ubuntu)
    • you pay for backports to old releases (keycloak iirc)
    • there is a open source version, and you can pay for enterprise features and hosting (gitlab)
    • there is an open source version, and you pay for customization (star office, iirc)

    and my personal favorit:

    • you pay a random developer to submit pullrequests for bugs that are relevant to you

    It is blatant plagiarism

    yes, and a solution could have been to cite sources.

    This was no innocent mistake of forgetting to list a source

    I don’t think, that not-citing-sources is an innocent mistake.

    Watch the hbomberguy video segment about it, it paints a very clear picture

    I did. I does paint a very colorful picture. Full of opinion and sarcasm and rhethoric.

    Here is a rule-of-thumb to decide if an argument was convincing because it had good content, or because it was well written: If the content was good, it will be easy for you explain to a 3rd party. If only the presentation was good, then you will have a hard time convincing others.

    guy covers historical event doesn’t rewrite history, instead takes what someone else has written about event doesn’t use own fotos, uses someone elses foto instead makes mistakes

    I am not saying this is a big nothing burger, but his only real mistakes was not to list his sources.
