Yep. Lot's of people refuse to take "yes" for an answer. Open Source won.

  "Open Source" (as if it's a single movement) didn't win in creating desirable, accessible, commercial or beautiful software. It 'won' in the worst possible way - big companies like Amazon and Facebook took the work, hid it in their datacenters behind their paywalls, and use it to extract money from people. Nobody has any more freedom with their data and their computing because Facebook uses PHP, than they would have on a proprietary desktop OS. "you can have an open source OS and browser which connects you to a restrictive interface where your data is under someone else's control" is a lose for all of us.
