Currently OSS is being destroyed by corporations flooding it with money. You can see people in projects becoming more corporate and political, doing very little and trying to protect and extend their power.
You can see largely useless features going in just because some corporation wants them.
I wonder what will happen if the destruction is complete. Will things revert to closed source entirely or are the corporations happy with being the puppet masters of OSS?
- outside1234 6y agoWell, what is the other way we have to get OSS funding outside of the corporations that use it? Not saying that it can't exist, but it doesn't exist, and that is why.
- canada_dry 6y ago> OSS is being destroyed by corporations^^ flooding it with money ^^ with competing interests Microsoft's interest in all things linux is a tad worrisome IMHO. How 'bout instead of the "keep your enemies closer" strategy, MS start releasing their products as open source and leave Linux be.
