on which the primary concerns are:

1. The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose (freedom 0).
2. The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it does your computing as you wish (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
3. The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help others (freedom 2).
4. The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others (freedom 3). By doing this you can give the whole community a chance to benefit from your changes. Access to the source code is a precondition for this.

some of the response even said they are broke or similar... which is sad to hear btw

I was expecting technical people in adult industry are a bit well-off (at least compared to mainstream programmers )
which means they have a bit more time to play around with toy projects and exchange code samples with other developers just for fun

which looks like apparently is not the case...
Open source and FOSS are not the same.

I can open source my code, you can see it, but that doesn't mean you have all those freedoms. The license in which I open source my code with is what grants you that stuff.
