This is a little aggressive. Sure, Balena offers a proprietary licensing to make money for their cloud software, but all of the technology is built with open source first. You can self host OpenBalena (the open source parts of Balena) and do your own deployments locally. I'm not sure if going after open source projects that can make money is the best way to promote open source software.

but im not doing that.
I'm going after open source projects that can make money (by building closed source infrastructure) taking other peoples open source projects and moneifying them into a new """open source""" project (where 99% of the meat is in closed source cloud infrastructure) as a way to piggy back off of the work of other people so that they can advertise on hacker news.
Like, if the repo actually added something substantial and new to the project, that would be one thing.
If this was an article that explained how to do the gluing/config work this github repo does, also, another thing. even if hosted/made by the cloud company. That at least appeals to the intellectual pursuit.
