What are your thoughts? Any counter-counter points to the author’s response to most concerns regarding open source?

    Yep, you sure are. You also can’t stop someone from forking it and giving it away for free. See: Red Hat Enterprise Linux and AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, etc.

    Money in open source is one of the biggest hurdles to it becoming the norm. IMHO, governments should fund more open source projects and fund them at higher levels. We have art grants because art improves society, and we should have an equal or higher amount of open source grants because open source improves society too.

      many governments are currently trying to tear down art grants aren’t they tho?

      the majority keep voting for the people trying to break everything and get shocked when it breaks.
