> Moloch should've never let open-source software happen. Maybe Moloch is catching up to open source. We read regularly of open source maintainers who are poor, burned out, and quitting. A lot of the open source work that happens is actually controlled by for profit corporations. Despite Chrome and Android being open source, it is optimized for advertising revenue for Google. Successful open source projects are incorporated in a SaaS offering, often cutting out the original developers. Other open source projects are acquired by large corporations and are shuttered. There still is not a reliable strategy for open source developers to support themselves, other than trying to use that notoriety to get hired by a big corporation, or try to upsell to non-open source add ons.
