I think one thing that's changed is that there are lots of useful projects that would be great to have available in the open, but can't realistically be created as a side project. If small businesses can stay around while creating software that is open to use, and can be contributed to by the greater community, that will allow a lot more good stuff to be built and seems like a win for everyone.
