I doubt they'd have started using it in the first place if the software looked like it would be abandoned.
If the best 'teeth' open source has is, "we might stop developing this at some point in the future if you don't give us $ for using our work", then as the parent said open source needs better teeth.
- artsyca 6y agoYea I know moralistic arguments lack teeth but on some level computer science is a field founded on the concept of good faith so I like to remain loyal to the spirit of Prometheus when I'm having my liver eaten out each morning by vultures aka my project manager. And as I mentioned in my parable the lion didn't need the mouse to bite it in order to do the right thing you know what I'm saying? In other words a 150 year+ institution should just know better and it's a shame to think they've been sucking the world dry for that long without a second thought as to how it might affect their own bottom line.
