Programmers are fine when their creations, pretty much all of tech, resells content that other people wrote for free, but no, not code, that one must be expensive


The only one making money here is github. Very few programmers are selling open source code. And programmers are (in)famous for not buying software.


I also don't think it's acceptable for TurnItIn to monetize content without paying the authors. My opinion about whether students should have their work stolen and monetized by a company doesn't seem to have much impact though.
