Yet in real life gifting, we expect reciprocity and have norms. (E.g., if little Johnny doesn't bring a present to Sally's birthday party, he never gets invited back.)

FOSS actually turns this on its head, since unpaid volunteers are giving billionaires like Bezos gifts. Worse, people argue in favor of it.
