FYI, this belief actively keeps folks (including me, previously) out of some really productive, effective and great communities.
While it's legally true, it's not ethically acceptable in many important mutual aid agreements.
I find that once I spend enough time in a community, I owe a lot of people for a lot of good they have done me.
I didn't previously have strong awareness of this, and my lack of awareness limited my career progress and community reputation.
Edit: I find that someone posted it to LinkedIn is particularly funny, since LinkedIn is all about posturing for a mostly imaginary community.
