I just think you're fighting a losing battle. I'm pretty apathetic about it because I've never wanted to do anything but give away my stuff anyway. It only has value in my/your head most of the time.
I think how deeply you care about this and the way you castigate other people is unhealthy and it is critical for your own well-being that you come to terms with it.
Unhealthy, yes. Well being, not so hot these days. But I could give a damn, cause I'm going to replace Git and Github both and have my name written in the history books.
As Lin-Manuel Hamilton said, "God help and forgive me; I want to build something that's gonna outlive me."
