The thing is there's some tools and technologies that humanity deserves to offer itself (a.k.a to develop a high quality OSS offering). Don't get scared by this statement, just bare with me for a second and assume it to be true. Humanity has offered itself OSS/copyfree/patent free technological gifts like an OS kernel, an SCM tool, an electronic CAD software, ML/data science packages, the wheel, etc. I posit that we need to produce long lasting artifacts that anyone, anywhere, can use and reproduce, especially if those artifacts are core to reaching our current technological level. This way, 50, 100 or 1000 years from now, we'll all have been the better for it. A mechanical CAD software, I believe, falls in that category of "humanity should have this in OSS". I think Fusion360 being free and easily accessible made great strides toward this, in the sense that it sort of democratized access to CAD: a lot of people learned to use CAD with it. Now that "gift", which was obviously not free or OSS, has been rescinded and people are coming off their cloud, down to earth and telling themselves that yeah, it wasn't going to last forever and they ought to have known, and it's probably time to make put our hands at work toward making this tech an OSS asset for humanity.
