"Cuck" is a term used to describe developers who contribute labor to permissively licensed projects, they enabling corporations to privatize and profit from their work without reciprocation. OpenBSD contributors grant unrestricted freedom for entities (e.g., Intel, Microsoft, Apple) to embed code into proprietary products, modify it without sharing improvements, and monetize it—while original developers receive no financial compensation, meaningful attribution, or guaranteed access to derivative works. Unreciprocated labor, where OpenBSD’s ideology of maximal reuse paradoxically empowers corporate extraction, leaving contributors materially uncompensated despite their foundational work.
