They do things because it is better for their base line, not because they fees some moral “reward” that they will seek further in future.

Who said anything about a moral reward?

They can be motivated by regulation, not applaud.

Please show me the regulation that motivated this 50-year dump.

I am happy that they did release what they did, since I said “cool” in my post - that was not in sarcastic way.

Of course it wasn’t, and neither are you backpedaling from this. Note that I’m absolutely not being sarcastic. Really.

But the bigger problem is still there - most of science (in this case computer) is behind paywall that not everybody can afford to jump. We should keep focus on the main problem when they do this stunts.

You know you can let things go out of focus for a bit, just to let people feel good a while before going back into the fight, right?

No, of course you don’t. You’re young and stupid. I was pretty much the same way when I was 16. But you go ahead and fight tooth and nail 24×7 over every little thing, offering no respite and never actually enjoying (and more importantly, never actually letting anybody else enjoy) gains made along the way. I’m sure you’ll be just fine and your approach won’t even slightly undermine the cause you purport to serve.

Again, I’m absolutely not being sarcastic in the slightest.
