It's interesting to ponder the points made in this essay with the recent discussion about "FUSE for macOS is no longer open source" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21759967 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21759967 The FUSE situation would seem to be a key piece of evidence supporting Dr Mark Tarver's main thesis that writing open source generally doesn't pay or mostly pays corporations who are in a better position to monetize the value in the software. His linked essay at the bottom about Stallman states the Stallman offers no economic model that would pay a programmer for their labor and states that may be because he has no business experience.
