exactly, corporate altruism has so many ways of backfiring, your example is one great example. I can just imagine the sort of mental gymnastics Twitterers will find to be outraged at any x billion dollar company efforts to do low-tier outreach with freebies.

Just simply supporting OSS directly, as in real money, is more than enough to quiet these "they should give x freebie".

That is all the mob should be calling for as a standard practice. Not sending some random developer who happened to get popular on Twitter a nintendo.
