      Do people create mods for games or create open source software solely for recognition?

          You’re missing the point I’ve made completely.

            My point is that a contributor to open source software can contribute just to help people because they don’t have to worry about legal repercussions.

              Being anonymous isn’t incompatible with helping people

                The point I’m trying to make is some people don’t want risk getting raided by the fbi just to give people free games

                  TOR is a thing, it’s not hard to upload files anonymously.
