MODERATORS
Copyright of code/research is one of the biggest scams in the world. It hinders development and only exists so the creator can make money, plus it locks knowledge behind a paywall
Researchers pay for publication, and then the publisher doesn't pay for peer review, then charges the reader to read research that they basically just slapped on a website.
It's the publisher middlemen that need to be ousted from academia, the researchers don't get a dime.
It's generally not the creator who gets the money.
