    Whether it’s source is open or not,

    has nothing to do with its licensing.

    It’s on a github repo: it’s open-source.

    Having an ideological-problem with people making a living off their code is independent of whether their code was honestly, actually, published, & therefore is actual open-source.

      I’m just going to stop you right there. Free Software / Open Source Software are not opposed to people earning money. In fact, they encourage it and there are several avenues through which it is possible, such as not making the code public and selling binaries to people with the source bundled.

      You don’t need to fuck over and mistreat users to earn money.
