It sounds like you're assuming that Sandstorm is a platform strictly for open source software, but that was actually not our intent. In the ten-year vision, there is a thriving ecosystem of both open source and proprietary / paid applications that build on the platform because it provides many advantages both to developers and to users, allowing for better-quality apps. We've used open source apps to seed the app market, because we can do that without the upstream developers' help. We also are big fans of open source ourselves, obviously, and I feel open source is especially disadvantaged in a SaaS world, so Sandstorm will make it more competitive. But in the end what I really want is high-quality decentralized software in general.
